Nurse's Nook

March is National Nutrition Month, a nutrition education and information campaign sponsored annually by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. National Nutrition Month is held annually in March with a focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. This year's theme, “Bring a Natural Balance to Nutrition” highlights that nutrition is about balance. Having a healthy diet can look different for everyone! What’s most important is to have a variety of nutritious foods every day. Check out the EatRight.org page for more nutrition information. An informational and/or activity sheet (from USDA) will be sent home with students each week during the month of March.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call (814) 817-1380 or email Mrs. Templin.
