The Veggies Heroes -
107th Street Elementary School
Nutrition education and healthy lifestyle choices are crucial for growing children. In “Veggie Heroes,” a film created by students at 107th Street Elementary School, students explore the concept of calories through hands-on activities that compare nutritious food options with typical junk food items. The film features an interview with a personal trainer who shares practical tips for maintaining physical health and making smart food choices that fuel young bodies for learning and play.
This film was created during a film workshop series with Young Moviemakers of America (YMA) during the spring 2025 semester.
