National Nutrition Month (NNM)
Posted by Briana Garcia on 2/26/2024Celebrate National Nutrition Month®
During the month of March, Fort Bend ISD is going “Beyond the Table” to learn more about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits for National Nutrition Month®.
This year's theme is "Beyond the Table," which addresses the farm-to-fork aspect of nutrition, from food production and distribution to navigating grocery stores and farmers markets — and even home food safety and storage practices. It also describes the various ways we eat — not only around the dinner table, but also on the go, in schools and restaurants, at games and events. This theme also includes sustainability, for instance, decreasing food waste from school and work to home and beyond.
The Fort Bend ISD National Nutrition Month® Online Toolkit can help you create healthy habits that are sustainable and suit your unique needs!
Ways to celebrate and get involved!
