Making Healthy Choices in 2019
By: Jennifer James, Vaughn Elementary, Frisco ISD
At Vaughn Elementary, we had our Frisco ISD Nutrition Department come out in January to help our students and staff make healthy choices in the New Year. For our kinder and 1st grade students, they prepared a vegetable sample for students and teachers to taste while a dietitian spoke to them about nutrition and healthy eating. Our younger kiddos LOVED it and thought the vegetable sample was so yummy! For our 2nd-5th grade students, Frisco ISD chefs came in and demonstrated how to create a healthy vegetable stir fry recipe while the dietitian talked about the importance of healthy eating. Students and staff were able to try the stir fry... and it was a hit! At the end, they even provided recipes for students and our Vaughn staff to take home.
