Right by the front door of Spout Springs School of Enrichment is a vending machine wrapped in kraft paper; on it, student signatures are scrawled across it, promising to make healthy choices. The machine’s only option is bottled water. “It’s a better school for our kids, and a better environment for our staff,” said Tom Adam, physical education teacher at the school.
