Our students and families learned about nutritious, balanced meals, to help their children build and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This workshop emphasized the importance of an overall healthy eating pattern with all five MyPlate food groups as key building blocks. Our students & families spoke about "eating the rainbow" everyday! Students shared different color fruits & vegetables after learning the benefits of each color! Parents were provided with suggestions to introducing new foods & strategies for promoting healthy eating at home! What a wonderful turnout!

Nutrition is important at every age. Your children need proper nutrients stay healthy and strong, and grow up healthy and strong.
