立博中文版我们的时事通讯食物森林

每天都在改变生活

Teachers integrate nutrition lessons into everyday class experiences. 学生, after a short time of learning in the garden, can't wait to eat a spinach or hibiscus leaf freshly plucked from a bush. 在学年结束前, they beg to go outside and eat a freshly picked “snack” of highly nutritious fruits, 绿色蔬菜, 或蔬菜. 

Through the support of M-DCPS' Department of Food and Nutrition, 在立博中文版我们的时事通讯场地种植的菜园农产品被鼓励纳入立博中文版我们的时事通讯膳食. This initiative has been widely successful with all 51 of 立博中文版's edible, garden-supported schools using freshly picked produce in their lunches regularly. 

At 立博中文版's 30 Food Forests, 丰富的农产品泛滥成灾, allowing for regular harvesting of the multitude of edible plants.  当学生们从“食物森林”带回装满农产品的收获袋时，家庭就会受益. 学生 are excited to be involved in the cooking process at home, knowing they helped to grow the nutritious produce. Along with the encouragement of their children to better their meals, families eat healthier as a result of the easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables,

在立博中文版的“立博中文版我们的时事通讯粮食森林”倡议中，学生和家庭健康是一个优先事项.

•   257,274 Harvest bags have been sent home with families from 26 Food Forests
