March is National Nutrition Month, and Food $ense invites you to celebrate good food and good health with us. We are dedicated to healthy eating all year long, but sometimes it’s easier to start small and focus on improving your eating habits one month at a time. Read on for 5 easy ways to bite into a healthy lifestyle!
Highline Elementary School librarians and Food $ense have partnered to spread the word about healthy eating during March. As part of National Nutrition Month, the librarians are teaching literacy nutrition lessons to their kindergarten, first and second grade students during library time. Each of the 5 lessons covers a MyPlate food group and the sharing of a food themed children’s book adapted into a story board or other interactive format.
Early in March, our King County Food $ense staff made the trek out to Ellensburg, WA to attend a state-wide training for F$ programs from counties all over the state. Titled Champions for Change: Influencing Behavior Beyond the Classroom, the two day training introduced some of the many ways in which F$ programs can support changes in policy, systems, and environments (PSE) to make the healthy choice the easy choice.
