Japanese Visitors

The students partnered up to research information on fats, carbohydrates, or proteins and why our body needs them. Check out the pictures of the students working in teams to record their research...

Sorting Foods with MyPlate

On Friday, the students worked in teams to sort foods as either vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins or dairy items in order to identify healthy food choices using MyPlate.
