At the end of the school year, we celebrate success

As the school year comes to a close, the schools we work with are humming with end of the year festivities. Students are looking forward to summer break, but always ask if we will be on campus teaching nutrition next school year. The answer is an enthusiastic yes!

As we say our temporary goodbyes for the summer, we've been reflecting on all of the wonderful experiences we've had. UC CalFresh staff really enjoy collaborating with teachers dedicated to helping children and families build healthier lifestyles. It's a joy to see children learn to make healthier choices over the school year.

Here are some of the highlights from our work in community nutrition education that we couldn't wait to share!

Teaching Yokomi elementary students how to build a healthy body

Trying new foods at Columbia elementary

Learning about edible plant parts at Sunshine Day

Teaching 3rd graders to choose "anytime" foods at Farm and Nutrition Day

The above images capture just a glimpse  into the exciting world of nutrition education. This year we've celebrated alongside parents who have earned a certificate in our class series, helped establish nutrition corners to promote healthy eating, and so much more! We can't wait to see what next school year holds!
