February 24, 2010
Students from Bronaugh Elementary traveled the path from the farmer's field to the playing field when University of Missouri Extension's Food Power came to town on February 24. Along the way, students learned answers to the questions, "Where does food come from?" and "How does it give me energy to help me grow."
"Food Power Adventure is the kind of active learning experience students need to help them see how the food they choose gives them the energy they need to play and grow," said Extension representative Mary Ball. "In addition to being a fun way for kids to learn about nutrition, the school is also meeting its wellness policy goals and state education standards."
The MU Department of Nutritional Sciences created Food Power Adventure with partial funding from USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
