School-based programs can play an important role in promoting lifelong healthy eating. The more positive exposure children have to nutritious foods, the more likely they are to incorporate these foods into their day.  Join Jamie Levato and Ellie Limpert in learning practical strategies for effective health promotion in and out of the classroom. In this workshop, we share:

Age appropriate nutrition goals for students
Activities and tips for making nutrition education hands-on, edible, engaging, and effective
Affordable, healthy snack recipes

Materials for use in the classroom 
Examples of crop plans for an edible harvest
Ways to engage parents in the process

Nutrition information in an understandable format
