The Jackson County School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) and the Healthy for Life (H4L) Action Team of the Healthy Carolinians Partnership are sponsoring the 11th Annual Healthy Snack Master Competition.

This competition is open to all individuals or groups (i.e. classes, afterschool programs, clubs, etc.) in Kindergarten – 1st grades enrolled in Jackson County Public Schools.

Students are encouraged to create an original recipe and turn it in to their school’s cafeteria manager by Friday, March 3, 2023. Submitted recipes will be reviewed by members of SHAC. The top student and group entries will go on to compete in the Healthy Snack Master Competition on the evening of Thursday, March 23rd at 5:00 p.m. at Blue Ridge School.

At the Healthy Snack Master Competition, a panel of judges will determine the winning healthy snack based on taste, appearance, healthfulness, and creativity.

Flyers with rules and an ingredient list and entry forms are available from K-12th grade teachers.
