Raise the bar
for school nutrition
Every child should have the choice of healthy fruits
and vegetables every day at school.
However, in Minnesota most schools do not have
the resources to purchase new equipment. There’s a
solution: businesses across the state are stepping up to
the challenge, with Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools
making it easy to donate all or part of the cost of a
salad bar to the school of their choice.
Why salad bars?
.
.
Kids who eat a balanced and nutritious
diet are better learners.
Most children do not eat enough fruits
and vegetables, and kids eat more when
they are given choices.
.
Salad bars are a perfect place to
showcase fresh foods from your local
farmer, which is good for the farmer
and good for the local economy.
