Last year the UC Master Gardeners and UC CalFresh hosted "Spring Into Health" at the Garden of the Sun, an event where 4th grade students from Yokomi Elementary came to the Garden to experience interactive displays with mini lessons all about nutrition. Phoebe Copp, with the Dairy Council of California, participated in this event, teaching the students all about the importance of milk and building strong bones. The students enjoyed the lesson, especially being able to put on a fake milk mustache and take pictures!
Our next Spring into Health Event is scheduled in March 2015. We can't wait!

Recently we had the opportunity to host a field trip for Yokomi elementary 4th graders at the UCCE Master Gardeners' demonstration garden, the Garden of the Sun.
The students were delighted to learn about MyPlate, hydration, tomato plants, physical activity, edible plant parts, healthy snacks and more!
These few pictures give you a glimpse into the fantastic, hands-on experience students had learning about nutrition. It was a great day for us all!
Special thanks to Rose Pipkin and the MG Youth Garden Committee, as well as Phoebe Copp with the CA Dairy Council for helping host the field trip!
