Healthy Tips for good nutrition
Help students make nutritious food choices all day long!! Beyond regular meals, snacks are sometimes offered during in-class celebrations or as rewards from a teacher. When schools reinforce healthy habits in the classroom, students learn consistent lessons that can last a lifetime.
Studies show that students who have regular, easy access to healthy options at school are more likely to develop healthy eating habits - before, during, and after school. A CDC report states that it is important for students to receive a "strong, consistent message" from adults as well as "access to healthy food and the support of people around them."
