Schools represent the community focal point for USDA's Team Nutrition. Through participation in Team Nutrition, a growing national network of local schools are showcasing healthy changes in school meals and new nutrition education programs.

Each school may designate a Team Nutrition School Leader who involves teachers, students, parents, food service personnel and the community in interactive and entertaining nutrition education activities with classroom and cafeteria components. Activities range from planting a school garden to operating a school health fair.

Take a look at some of the activities conducted in the following states. We hope you can borrow some of these great ideas to create similar events in your school! If you want more information, find the particular school in the Team Nutrition Schools Database, and contact them directly.
