Nutrition Resources

Good nutrition and good education go hand in hand. Well-nourished students have higher test scores, better school attendance, and fewer classroom behavior problems. Research shows that the knowledge and skills children learn today help them choose healthier foods tomorrow and into adulthood. For more information about the nutrition environment, wellness, and best practices for students, see the links below.
