Discussions with Schools

The following questions can be discussed with schools to gather important insight into the school’s views on Crunch&Sip®:

  • What problems or barriers are there in implementing Crunch&Sip® in your school?
  • What benefits can you see in participating in Crunch&Sip®?
  • What assistance would you like in beginning Crunch&Sip®?
