First graders at Stewart Elementary School have been taking more healthy bites these past three weeks through the Pick a Better Snack program. This sweet week of Valentine?s Day the focus was on exercise and sweet red peppers.
This program is designed to motivate children to eat more fruits and vegetables and to be more physically active. Each week Amy Green, 4-H/youth coordinator, visits the first-grade classrooms to talk about making healthy food choices. They always get to sample a particular fruit or vegetable of the day.
If you have any questions about the Pick a Better Snack program or would like to volunteer or financially support the program, please call the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
