HEALTHIER VENDING
SUCCESS STORY

After forming a Coordinated School Health Team and completing the HSAT, Rudyard High School was able to apply for a grant to purchase a refrigerated Healthy Vending Machine.

We consider it a success that we were one of only 80 schools in the State of Michigan to receive this grant! We had it filled with healthy items and available to vend to students within one week of receiving the machine. We are in the process of learning how to fill and program our new vending machine.
