LCCAA Head Start students are enjoying visits from a nutrition educator from the Ohio State University Extension.
The SNAP-Ed program helps teach children and families about healthy food choices that can be made on a limited budget.
Whitney Stollings is bringing the five-week program to all LCCAA students. In addition to fun movement activities, she is sharing information about food groups and helping children identify foods that are healthy or not and then “feeding” them to the monster.
Students are also learning about their skeletal systems, bone health and much more while trying tasty, nutritious foods. They’re also taking a minute to discuss the food groups as they enjoy their hot lunch.
