How much Halloween Candy did you collect?


Students in 8th grade have been learning about nutrition. We have been talking about the amount of sugar in candy and eating empty calories.  Through this we came up with a big question... How much candy does the average kid bring home on Halloween?  The even bigger question is how much sugar is in all of that candy?  

We would love if you could help us answer this question by filling out this survey.  We encourage having your child help tally the numbers.  What a great time for a family talk about eating sugars in moderation.  

****All entries must be submitted by November 4th, 2015****

Please feel free to share this post on social media or via email.  The more responses we get the more accurate our data will be.

---- We will post our results in the gym at The Pathfinder School and on this blog ----

Are you already starting to worry that you have too much candy? Fear not --- Eastern Elementary can help! They are holding their annual Trick or Treat for Troops event, and we would love to take your candy donation and send it to troops serving overseas. They are collecting NON-CHOCOLATE candy from November 2nd-4th.

  1. Our kids got wayyyy too much candy! We just did a couple nursing homes and down town just for the experience. I'll be giving most of this candy away to staff and customers at work! My 2 and 6 year old don't need that much candy! We have a meijer reusable bag 3/4 full!
