Hello Classmates!

This summer and fall I ran the kid’s nutrition education and activities at the local farmers’ market and I have to say, it has been a blast!  We talked about MyPlate, made some farm fresh salsa, planted beans and radishes and did a whole lot of arts and crafts!  One of my favorite activities was having the kids make their own salsa.  All of the farmers at the market graciously donated produce so the kids get in touch with their inner chef.  For some of the kids it was the first time that they were trying certain vegetables and parents were so happy to see this.  Over 60 kids joined us this day which is nearly double the amount that normally participates.

Below are a few pictures from throughout the season.
