Save SNAP-Ed

Pennsylvania Teacher

“A teacher shared that parents have been asking for the recipes after their children had tried a new fruit or vegetable when the SNAP-Ed nutrition educator visited their classroom.

The teacher said: ‘I love that you bring different types of foods for the students to try. Some of the children went home and even asked their parents to try some of the recipes. When talking about the life cycle of a butterfly and had offered the children a chance to try spinach when talking about the first cycle. The majority of the children wouldn’t even try a bite. We tried the same activity after Miss Allie (our SNAP-Ed nutrition educatory) had implemented the Harvest for Healthy Kids curriculum, almost all of the kids were willing to try the second time. I do believe it was her influence of encouraging them to try something new. I appreciate everything she’s done for our class. Thank you!'”
