“SNAP-ED is a great program that comes into classrooms and teaches my students about healthy eating and nutrition. Many of my students try healthy foods for the first time through this program. We also use the vernacular learned through this program throughout the year to promote healthy eating habits in the cafeteria. It does make a difference in our community especially in low income households where nutrition is a rarity. Proper nutrition plays a key role in children’s development affecting not just physical health but emotional regulation and mental health as well. This program definitely impacts our community and it would be huge loss if the program was cut.”
