It was crunch time at the Plains elementary school, thanks to the annual Montana Crunch Time program.
Kindergarten through third-grade students kicked off this year’s event by having each of the four grades simultaneously crunch into an apple. Over 12,000 students, children and others took part in 55 locations around the state.
This age group encounters a few problems with a big crisp apple. School Superintendent Kathleen Walsh said, “We didn’t think about the kids without front teeth, yet they still had fun.”
