Real Food Rules for LMS sixth-graders

Students create songs, posters during healthy eating program
The Liberty Middle School Wellness Committee once again hosted the STEAM FUND for The Real Food Rules Program—an innovative initiative designed to educate students about the origins and importance of food, and to inspire healthy, informed choices.
This year, sixth-grade students participated in dynamic sessions with musicians and educators Scott and Beth Bierko. Through engaging discussions and interactive songwriting activities, students explored the concept of “real food,” where it comes from, and how it impacts their health and well-being.
These creative workshops encouraged students to reflect on their eating habits and think critically about nutrition. The program culminated in a unique musical collaboration, with students composing original songs focused on wellness, healthy eating and nutrition. These student-created songs will be proudly featured during the school’s morning announcements, as well as in radio spots and on the STEAM Fund’s YouTube Page.
The following songs, with their links, were produced:
- Find Balance – Mrs. Klein’s Class
- Eat More Real Food – Mrs. Clifford’s Class
- My Heart Is Important (Mi Corazón es Importante) – Ms. Murphy’s Class
- Know Your Facts – Mr. Jones’ Class
- Sharpen The Saw – Ms. Abplanalp’s Class
- Junk Food – Ms. Cummins’ Class
- Sodium Blues – Mr. Golden’s Class
The classes also took part in a poster contest with four students earning top honors for their awards. The winning posters were created by Dia D’Agata, Genesis Harrison, Raegan Wagner and Stephani Smith.




The LMS Wellness Committee is grateful for the continued support of the STEAM FUND and look forward to inspiring more students to make smart, healthy choices through the power of music and education.
