Here is a great opportunity for your classroom and students! Your school can host a local chef to demonstrate how to make healthy recipes. You can even use the ‘Chef in the Classroom’ program as one of your healthy eating plays. Check out the playbook on the Fuel Up To Play 60 website for further ideas.
Interested in bringing this program to your school? Apply for funding through the Dairy Dollars Grant!
