Today’s activity and nutrition info is the same as elementary and middle school. The activity skills can be performed by anyone and it’s set up as a challenge, so I think it pertains to all (maybe you even have a little brother or sister who is doing the same challenges). Either way, have fun and when you’re done enjoy the smoothie!
