#ThankYouTeachers 🧑‍🏫❤️! 

Teachers play a huge role in implementing #BrighterBites #nutritioneducation on their school campuses. We appreciate the excitement teachers have for sharing fresh #fruits and #vegetables with their students. Thank you for being healthy role models, teachers🍎🥰! 

Is there a teacher who made an impact on your education❔ 

Special thank you to Ms. Meads from @browne_ec in @BrighterBitesEastCoast

It's official! Brighter Bites is in San Antonio, Texas! 🎉📍

We've started programming in San Antonio with 6 schools in Harlandale ISD. This means we plan to serve around 720 families and provide 115,200 pounds of fresh produce to the families participating this semester!

“I’m so excited our students will be able to receive a hands-on experience of what healthy choices
actually look like,” said Juan Aguilar, physical educator at Harlandale ISD. “With the launch of #BrighterBites programming, the kids will be able to try new #vegetables and #fruits that they normally wouldn't have access to on a regular basis. It is my hope this will also help families ease
their food expenses, as prices of groceries have increased dramatically within the last year.”

The first distribution in San Antonio began last week and will continue each week through the end of May. We plan to further expand our reach into more schools within the Harlandale school district for the fall semester. The generous support and partnership from @HarlandaleISD and Student Health Advisory Committee, @UnitedHealthcare, and FreshPoint San Antonio
have made this expansion possible.
