Nutrition Education Activities include classroom lessons, single-session workshops, health fairs, and Parent Nutrition Night Classes. Classroom lessons can be tailored to any grade level and meet multiple Massachusetts Curriculum Standards. Nutrition Education Activities also include a variety of printable, take-home nutrition information and healthy recipes, many of which are also available in Spanish.
