Kristen Mowers, Nutrition Coordinator for CalSERVES
February is Canned Food Month and to honor/celebrate this CalSERVES joined with the Network for a Healthy CA to host a month long event. It started with a field trip to Food Maxx where the 3rd and 4th grade students got to take a tour of the store, do some exercises inspired by fruits and vegetables, and help prepare a healthy snack. CalSERVES also participated in the “Can Creation” project and built a 3D book out of donated canned food. All of the cans used were then donated to the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Our grand finale was a Fun Family night at Sheppard Elementary where families got to come play some games, learn Capowara and Zumba, and receive nutrition information.
