Teenage Moms
Lessons for pregnant and parenting teens on healthy nutrition habits for improved birth outcomes. Also covers breast-feeding and feeding babies and toddlers.

Food Power
Through Food Power Classroom Activities, the Food Power Adventure and the Food Power Digest, elementary school students learn the importance of healthy food choices and regular physical activity. As students travel the path food takes from the farmer’s field to the sports field, they learn where the food they eat comes from and how it gives them the energy to grow and play.

Food Power Young Adventure
As an integral compliment to the Food Power curriculum, Young Adventure targets early childhood through kindergarten aged students. The program is titled “Healthily Ever After”. Using nursery rhyme puppet characters and music, students are introduced to eating a variety of foods, being physically active, and washing hands to kill germs. A parent digest with family cooking ideas, games, and resources is sent home to reinforce learning concepts.

Food Power Round Up
Round Up offers an enrichment option to the Food Power curriculum. Designed as a traveling nutrition assembly performance for grades 2nd to 4th, the program uses puppetry, music, and audience participation learning. Content information helps support students in making positive food and physical activity choices. Classroom activity handouts for teachers follow up are provided.
