What is Nutrition Nuggets?

The 2004 Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act requires school districts to implement a Local Wellness Policy by the beginning of the 2006/2007 school year. With this, lawmakers have turned to schools to improve nutrition and physical activity for the nation’s children. Schools are being advised to provide nutrition and physical fitness information to parents.

Nutrition Nuggets can help you fight childhood obesity and help elementary students come to school ready to learn.
