RUSD Nutrition Service's CalFresh Healthy Living team is partnering with schools to promote healthy food and beverages and healthy students. As educators, you play an important role in improving the nutrition and physical activity habits of your students and their families. We would like to extend our services in helping your school create those healthy habits.

The Nutrition Connection for Families aims to help families create healthy habits in their daily lives. Each newsletter is filled with super helpful wellness tips, cafeteria highlights, important dates and announcements to remember, and even a section highlighting an in-season fruit or vegetable. We hope you find this resource helpful as you work to build healthier habits as a family or strengthen the ones you already have.
