School

Is your heart racing for Valentine’s Day? Although candy and dessert tend to take center stage on Valentine’s Day, holiday celebrations are a great place to incorporate healthy eating ideas and physical activity into a child’s life.

October is National Farm to School Month! This month celebrates the connections between children and local foods and farms and highlights the schools, local farms, and communities that work together to serve fresh, locally-grown ingredients in school cafeterias.

October 2nd is National Walk to School Day! Join in on the fun Walk to School Day events around your community and take steps towards a healthier future!

The school year is in full swing! Having a nutritious breakfast provides the nutrients kids need to be focused and prepared for the school day. Take the time to eat breakfast with quick and easy breakfast options!

It’s that time of year again that kids are heading back to school! Whether your child brings a packed lunch from home or buys lunch from the cafeteria, a healthy, balanced lunch is an essential component to a positive and successful school day. The beginning of the school year is a great time to start (or continue!) making healthy eating choices!
