With the 2015-2016 school year commencing, we're excited to Discover What's New With Healthy Schools And How Parents Can Help!
Join #FoodFri on September 4, 2015, at 1pm, Eastern, to kick-off the MomsRising Good Food Force Back to School Challenge. We'll be joined by the @USDA and Bettina of @TheLunchTray as we chat about healthy school meals and the power of Moms and Dads.
Start the school year off strong, as we share how YOU can become a powerful force in children's health, while celebrating the successes we've had thus far. It's going to be lively so don't miss it!
