Nutrition for Learning

On a meal experience day, one teacher, while grabbing a meal said, "Maybe I will stay in to have lunch with them today." Having meals in unity with staff and adults is something that students said was important to them in a student nutrition program, so this was exciting to see!⁠
⁠
In Finland, a model country for food in schools, school meals are a shared social experience where teachers often eat with students. Not only does this nurture relationships, but it also serves as a way to model things like healthy habits, manners, and food exploration.⁠
⁠
Food for All is more than nourishing students; food is a way that we connect with one another and a way to build community. Food at school says we all BELONG. ⁠

🚨Stay tuned! For the next month, we will be showcasing our Food for All pilot. You won't want to miss the magic! 🪄⁠
