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?

#BrighterBites is rooted in the belief that if we give our kids something better to munch on, they will. Let's make snacking for kids fun and delicious🤗! Look for brightly colored #fruits & #vegetables 🌈🍇🥦🍎. Cut fruits and veggies in fun shapes ⭐❤️🔺. Don't forget, children love finger foods, so bite sized pieces are ideal!

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 🍎🥦🥰.

"I'm amazed by the impact you've made on my household's food consumption. Before #BrighterBites, I had tried some vegetables...since Brighter Bites, my family has been exposed to different vegetables. My family learned how to embrace new vegetables, new recipes, and nutritious facts." - happy parent, Washington, D.C. 🥰
