Access to Healthy Foods

The leadership team really wanted to focus on educating everyone about nutrition. We’ve partnered with MSU extension to offer healthy eating courses for our parents. A representative from MSU is going to promote two classes: “Cooking Matters for Parents” and “Healthy Food, Healthy Families”. One class will be offered this spring while the other will be offered in the fall. All classes will be held in the school for convenience.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

Next year, we plan to offer one parent class each semester. Next year, the leadership team wants to promote healthy lunches from home. The hope is that parent and child, working together, will pack a well balanced lunch.
