Each community can help children learn healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Building a community environment that provides opportunities to develop fit lifestyles is essential for children and their families. Schools are a focal point of every community. A partnership between the schools and the community can foster educational experiences for all members. Activities that encourage schools and communities participate in community garden projects and farmers markets is one way to bring people together to discover a variety of new vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices. These items can be used in the new school menus and introduce students to new tastes and flavors. This toolkit will offer many resources to make a community grow and be well nourished.
