🍓FNS PROVIDES FRESH FRUIT & VEGETABLE PLATTERS🥕
Research shows the importance of eating an assortment of fruits and vegetables in our daily lives (since each one has an array of vitamins and minerals our bodies need). By exposing students to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, our hope is to give each child participating in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program a life-long connection to fresh fruits and vegetables. Some of our students showed how grateful they were by writing letters about their fruits and veggies, https://bit.ly/39uKmKm. #ALLINMartin 👊 #PublicSchoolProud
