From teachers:
- "The Nutrition Program this year has been sensational, loaded with fascinating hands-on activities that kept the students so engaged in learning about nutirtion... P.S. The parents have told me that they're hearing from the children now - about good nutrition!"

- "If anything, I should be giving you a huge thank you for bringing such an engaging, hands-on learning experience into our classroom. The children just did their review of second trimester science and the nutrition unit received very positive comments."

- "We really appreciate your lessons. This year the kids were really into the subject and talked about 'good' food often We still see yucky snacks eaten by the kids once and awhile, but there has definitely been an improvement since you started working with them. "
