Nutrition corners here, nutrition corners there, nutrition corners everywhere!!
All enrolled teachers are provided with a nutrition corner border to set up in their classroom to feature student work and create a healthy environment.
UC CalFresh is also getting nutrition corners up and running in cafeterias and other shared spaces on school campuses where they can be highlighted for all to see.
When you think about it, large companies spend a lot of money branding food to make it seem exciting and delicious. They get people excited about it, and that increases sales and consumption.
Let's join in this proven strategy, but with a twist-- let's promote healthy foods! Together we can create a healthy environment that gets students excited to try healthy foods and stay physically active! Who's with us??

Teachers enrolled in the UC CalFresh Youth Nutrition Education Program are provided with a "nutrition corner" border when they sign up to participate in the program.
Setting up a "nutrition corner" in your classroom or a high-traffic area at your school (cafeteria or library) and updating it with students' nutrition work is a great way to spread the word about the importance of eating well and staying physically active.
Promoting healthy behaviors creates a positive environment in which students can thrive!
