Today we are sharing our gratitude for P.E. Coaches on all school campuses! P.E. coaches are healthy role models in their schools, and we are grateful for the great examples they set for their students.

This coach from Dodge Park Elementary @pgcps models healthy eating for his students by snacking on fresh blueberries throughout the day 🍇😋. We think you're berry great, coach🤗!

What a successful week of distributing fresh #fruits & #vegetables across all of our partner schools! This young lady at Houston Elementary in @austinisd was excited to see some gorgeous broccoli in her family's #BrighterBites bags. We think these would be perfect for our Broccoli Grape Salad 🥦🍇💚! What do you think?

Gearing up for back-to-school means getting ready for school lunch. Healthy lunches give children the energy to learn and play and make the most of their school day! Make your child's lunch a #MyPlate lunch with 1/4 of the plate protein🥙, 1/4 of the plate whole grain🍞, and 1/2 of the plate #fruits and #vegetables 🍎🥦🥰.

Today we are celebrating #kidsinthekitchen 🧑‍🍳! Teaching kids to make healthier choices can be fun. When kids help out in the kitchen, they have a better sense of where their food comes from and are proud of what they create! This young lady at @moraviajudycenter in @BrighterBitesDC was overjoyed to get some fresh bell peppers and oranges🍊 to take home to her kitchen.
