Thanks to the Free Fruit and Vegetables Program students in grades K-5 are able to have fresh fruits and vegetables for classroom snacks. The program will provide healthy foods throughout the 2024-2025 school year. The goal is to increase a child's consumption of fresh produce as they continue to be introduced to new and different types through nutrition education and tasting opportunities.
