<p class="Picture">Luis Felipe, who is attending John F Kennedy’s Early Learning Center, enjoyed his chocolate chip muffin more than his fruit pop. The kindergartener opted for a mouthful of muffin and one cold hand instead of a brain freeze. </p>
<p class="Picture">The John F. Kennedy Early Learning Center’s cafeteria was packed with parents, children and teachers. Everyone was allowed to have a fruit pop and a muffin while the kids made new friends and the teachers spoke with parents. </p>

<p class="Picture">Rachael Perez, 5, dives into her Whole Fruit popsicle face first. The new Early Learning Center student got her face all sticky at the ELC’s kindergarten ice cream social on Thursday, Sept. 1, but she didn’t care one bit. </p>
