This initiative is targeted at school children from kindergarten to grade 5 in schools of the Northumberland County and some schools in the Kent County. The children are asked to participate in health related challenges that can vary in length from a week to a month. In the past, challenges have included: Eat a healthy snack, be active for 30 minutes each day, eat a healthy lunch, maximum of one hour of screen time per day. Each classroom receives a kit prepared by the Mango Program that includes all material necessary.

For more information, please contact the Mango office directly at Mango@HorizonNB.ca or 627-7564.
