Wednesday's Tip - Maintaining a Healthy Diet

This Red Ribbon Week is inspiring us to "Bee Healthy." Today let's focus is on maintaining a healthy diet. We have found a few new recipes to get the whole family involved: 

• Team Nutrition Cooks!  - Team Nutrition Cooks! is a series of cooking-based nutrition activities for children ages 8 to 12 years old. These activities can spark children’s interest in trying new foods and help empower them with skills for independence. Cooking can also help kids become more interested in making healthy food choices that can help build and support good eating habits throughout their lifetime.

 

• A new smoothie recipe from CASSY: Making Healthy Smoothies (CASSY is a Silicon Valley nonprofit agency that partners with local schools to support students' social and emotional well-being through crisis intervention, ongoing counseling, and proactive mental health education.)

Please don't forget there are resources in our community to help provide balanced meals for families, such as the nutrition plan meal service found LGUSD Food Services webpage. Complimentary breakfast and lunch services will be extended through December 31, 2020. Drive thru service will be offered at R.J. Fisher Middle School. The hours for pick-up Monday through Friday 8:00am -9:00am for breakfast and 12:00pm - 1:30pm for lunch.
