Coach describes "Rambler Fuel" snack program for students
Summary
A Boyne City phys-ed teacher described a student nutrition pilot — 'Rambler Fuel' — serving pre-workout carbs and post-workout protein to roughly 100 high-school and 30 middle-school participants, funded by local grants, donors, and the culinary class.
The board received a presentation on the Rambler Fuel program, a student nutrition station intended to provide pre- and post-workout snacks for student-athletes and conditioning participants. Dave (speaker 10), introduced by the board as a physical education teacher leading the program, said the program now serves about 100 high-school students and roughly 30 middle-school students after adding a middle-school strength and conditioning class.
Dave described how the program began as a small trial and expanded with help from a Meijer grant, Walmart funds, a Michigan dairy farmers grant (for chocolate milk), Booster support, and contributions from a local pizza sponsor. He credited the district culinary class with producing protein bites that reduced costs and improved scalability. "Kids love this," he said, describing student reliance on the fridge-based fuel station and noting the program's daily routine: students take a snack before and after class.
