Nutrition Education in Schools
Our District Family and Consumer Science Agent, SNAP-Ed Nutrition Educators and Community Wellness Program Manager all teach nutrition in Linn and Miami County schools, ranging from Kindergarten to 12th grade. A variety of research-based curriculum is used as well as the current USDA food guidance, MyPlate. MyPlate prompts consumers to think about building a healthy plate based on a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy products. Contact our office to discuss options for nutrition education for youth ages K-12!
