Tips from our team!

Repeating healthy eating activities will affect students’ habits over the long term—planning a number of small activities throughout the year is better than doing one activity during Nutrition Month!

If you aren’t seeing an improvement in students’ snacks after doing these activities, don’t be discouraged—kids aren’t the ones buying their food. But you’ll plant the seed, and they may reap the benefits later in life!
