Thank you @AubreyNPR for highlighting how every day in FoodPrints classes, our students grow, harvest, cook, and eat local food in our school gardens and kitchen classrooms! #GrowCookEatLearn.@dcpublicschools.@ChmnMendelson.@MurielBowser.
Remember Home-Ec? I love this modern spin on an old idea to empower and inspire kids to cook. #F2SMonth and #farmtoschool @FRESHFARMDC.

Thrilled to be featured @AubreyNPR on how our @FRESHFARMDC FoodPrints program weaves food & cooking into the curriculum. Against the backdrop of high rates of diet-related disease, "an investment in nutrition education makes sense." @USDANutrition .

With diet-related disease on the rise in the U.S., some schools are adding nutrition to the curriculum. Teaching kids to grow and cook fresh produce can influence life-long eating habits.

Students make connections in school gardens. Our summer students at @PayneDCPS learned about plant traits & discussed human-plant interactions via the exchange of oxygen and CO2. Cyrus summed up this plant love: "We need them and they need us." 🌱 #summerlearning @dcpublicschools

Our @dcpublicschools summer students are learning about new kitchen and garden tools - and how to use them safely. They used graters to grate apples, beets, and carrots for ABC Salad. Many are trying and liking this new food! 🍎🥕. #FoodEducation.
