Ongoing Activities

We are providing nutrition education workshops in connection with our school partners, Boston Public Schools and Somerville Public Schools, throughout the school year. Working with teachers in each school, we will be providing 4-6 week series on nutrition in the classroom. If your child attends school in either of these districts, there's a good chance they will have a nutrition educator teaching in their classroom this year. Be sure to ask what they learned!

 

Schools we are scheduled to be in this year include:

Somerville

• Healey (October)
• Argenziano (November/December)
• East Somerville (January)
• West Somerville (February/March)
