Dole and GoNoodle: Sweet Results, Real Impact

From Fruit to Fun

Healthy snacking and movement go hand in hand. Kids engage more when nutrition is paired with interactive, enjoyable activities that bring classrooms to life. Dole, in partnership with GoNoodle, aimed to inspire healthy habits while creating fun, active learning experiences for students.

“The students were so gracious with the fruit bowls and really enjoyed them,” shared one teacher. “We served them as dessert after our communal meal using our grow tower harvest, and many even said they’d ask their parents to buy more.”

The Goal
