Blending Fun and Learning at Our Lady’s National School – Dole Ireland collaborates with Agri-Aware to celebrate Healthy Eating Week
On Tuesday 6th May, we had the absolute pleasure of visiting Our Lady’s National School in Nurney, Co. Carlow to present them with the Agri Aware School of the Month award – a fantastic recognition of their brilliant efforts in the Incredible Edibles Programme, which runs in primary schools all over Ireland.
That morning, Tony from our Marketing team hit the road with the trusty Dole Smoothie Trailer, ready to bring a burst of fruity fun to the school. Once there, he ran a hands-on smoothie-making workshop with the students and served up our delicious DOLE Delight Smoothie – a zesty mix of Irish strawberries, bananas, and orange juice. Sunshine, smiles, and smoothies… what more could you ask for?
We were so happy to team up with Agri Aware again for Healthy Eating Week, as part of our shared passion for encouraging healthy habits from a young age.
Marketing Manager, Nicola Banville had this to say on the day:
“As an Irish business, we're so proud to be involved in the Incredible Edibles programme again this year. It’s so inspiring to see schools getting creative and enthusiastic about healthy eating and learning where their food comes from. We’re thrilled to help celebrate the Agri Aware School of the Month, this time awarded to Our Lady’s National School in Nurney – for showing such great initiative and imagination in bringing the programme to life.”
We’re already looking forward to more days like this – helping children find the fun in fruit and supporting schools as they grow, learn, and lead the way in healthy living.
