Healthy Staff Program

Healthy Food Service Program

School food service workers with a greater understanding of their own personal nutrition can inspire and champion changes in the cafeteria to serve healthier and fresher meals for our students. This two- and half-hour course is broken up into easy digestible lessons that you can start and stop at any time and receive accredited continuing education hours too! 

In this course you will cover: 

• The history of school food
• Overview of healthy eating principles
• Sustainability and marketing in the cafeteria
• Basics of scratch cooking 

Healthy Teachers Program

Teachers with more knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating can not only lead happier, healthier lives–they can be stronger role models for our kids and be better advocates for school wellness policies.

This free two-hour nutrition and cooking class is designed to transform staff wellbeing through inspiration. It is a fun, interactive class that breaks down simple nutrition into digestible information that everyone can use.
 

This class covers:
 

• Basic principles of eating a whole foods diet
• Tips for shopping economically while still making healthy choices
• Healthy cooking demonstrations and recipes

This is not a diet program, but an open concept to basic nutrition that fits everyone!
