• Be physically active

Michigan Team Nutrition is a TEAM effort that involves schools, families, and the community in providing nutrition education to kids.
Team Nutrition has three implementation strategies:

1. Healthy School Meals that meet student expectations
2. Nutrition Education that is fun and focused on behavior
3. Support from school administrators, parents and other community leaders

All program materials encourage students to make food and physical activity choices for a healthy lifestyle.
