Monroe School District is incorporating the myplate.gov into our nutrition education and so you will see information coming home in school folders soon or at school open houses as we spread the word about healthy eating, portion size and personal fitness! Please see our myplate.gov magnets soon to be handed out in the schools. Several programs that include nutrition and wellness for students have been supported by a grant funded by Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation. We want to thank Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation for their generous support and collaboration in our fight against Childhood Obesity! |
