MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

FES will be celebrating National National Nutrition Month school-wide. Each week we will focus on the 5-2-1-0 message through the announcements, our wellness blog and by sending health information handouts/links to teachers and parents. PE classes will learn about My Plate and Let’s Go 5-2-1-0. Specialists in music, library, art, computer, health and Spanish will integrate nutrition information in their classes. More information on healthy eating, interactive games, and children’s recipes are available at Let's Go and My Plate Kids.

Classroom teachers will share weekly information/ computer links with their parents so they can follow along at home. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate Nutrition Month.
