The 'Fruit Ninjas' are making sure no piece of fruit goes to waste at one local high school.
A new, year-round program at Abington Senior High School is aimed at combatting food waste and helping the surrounding community.Last spring, Abington Senior High School English teacher Mariam Freeman noticed students throwing out the fruit required to come with their school meals.
The idea for Fruit Ninjas was born: a system for students to donate the fruit they choose not to eat to the Willow Grove Baptist Food Pantry. "It was OK because it was just unrefrigerated fruit items like you would get at a supermarket," said Freeman.The Fruit Ninjas focus on marketing the program. They design posters and advertisements, making sure the messaging is clear and relatable. They made a series of 'I donated' stickers."It makes the students donate it more and say, 'Oh my God, I'm making a big impact by donating this little fruit,'" said Fruit Ninjas president Tiffany Le.
The Fruit Ninjas even analyze the collection box placement to try to figure out the best spots to maximize donations.
