Join Team Nutrition!

Becoming a Team Nutrition School will help you focus attention on the important role nutritious school meals, nutrition education and a health-promoting school environment play in helping students learn to enjoy healthy eating and physical activity. It will provide the framework for team efforts by school nutrition staff, teachers, parents, the media and other community members.

All Team Nutrition program materials, including Kansas Team Nutrition's Power Panther Pals, encourate students to make food and physical activity choices for a healthy lifestyle. They focus on five behavior outcomes:

Eat a variety of foods
Eat more fruits, vegetables and grains
Eat lower fat foods more often
Get your calcium-rich foods
Be physically active
