Access to Healthy Foods

At Belle Ryan we have a Fuel Up to Play 60 class for students that meets for thirty minutes once a month. For the last several months we have been discussing nutrition. We have talked about MyPlate and how to make healthy choices in all of the food groups. It has been great to watch the students at lunch time as they are figuring out what food groups they have been given at lunch and if they have the right amount. The students are really showing that they have gained knowledge they can use about what kinds of foods they put into their bodies.

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

We are giving students the knowledge to be able to make healthy choices at school as well as at home.
