by  McMillen Health

Program image

Creating balanced meals using the MyPlate model,
recognizing the difference between everyday foods and "only sometimes
foods", as well as understanding the importance of limiting "only
sometimes foods" are goals central to this program.  Students will participate in a Snack Attack
activity that helps them understand how to choose healthy snacks instead of
unhealthy snacks.
