Do you like cucumbers? Several Brookeside Montessori students give thumbs up to Suyo cucumbers. The healthy snack program is in cooperation with Bause Catered Events Inc and funded in part by a grant from the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation. This program introduces students to taste different fruits and vegetables and learn the health benefits of them.

Cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber — a great combination for healthy eating (and healthy digestion). They also contain vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at its best — including magnesium, potassium and vitamins K, A and C — supporting everything from bone to immune health.
