The University of Maryland Extension’s SNAP-Ed program is excited to be partnering with your child's school to help your child learn and grow in a healthy environment. This year, I will be providing activities that help children move more, select and taste healthy foods, and drink more water.
Teaching healthy habits is a team effort! Here are some ways you can get involved.
Take action at home!
- Ask your child about the nutrition lessons and healthy foods they try in the classroom and cafeteria.
- Visit extension.umd.edu/eatsmart to access hundreds of healthy recipes, plus a blog with tips for staying healthy and active. Use the Google Translate button (coming soon) to view content in your preferred language.
- Follow your school’s electronic communications to see what is happening in the classroom, throughout the school, and in your neighborhood.
- Choose, cook, and try new foods together as a family.
Take action at school!
- Send your child to school with a reusable, filled water bottle each day.
- Participate in school meals. Read the menu together, and look for new foods to try!
- Ask your child’s teacher for ways you can support a healthy, active classroom.
If you have a need for additional materials in your native language, please email eatsmartmd@umd.edu.
See you at school!
