Here are some ideas to consider for your next disco or dance party:

• Make a decision as a school about the types of foods you will provide or sell.

• Can your canteen sell some of the lines they are used to making? eg popcorn, apple spirals and muffins.

• Promote water with ice, fruit? fancy straws?

• Make fruit kebabs/platters (would your local supermarket or fruit and veg supplier help?)

• Think about fruit buns, small tubs of reduced fat yoghurt, vegie sticks, crackers and cheese cubes.

• Make up an energy mix of popcorn with dried fruit and cereals (e.g. Weet-Bix Bites, Mini-Wheats etc.)

• Sell fluoro wrist bands (instead of soft drinks) as a fundraiser. (Available from discount stores and a big success at Sacred Heart New Town).

If you have other ideas to share that have been a success at your school send us an email.

Thanks to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School for getting us thinking about this.
