Family Wellness receives grant from Cargill Cares West Fargo

Family Wellness received a grant from Cargill Cares West Fargo in support of our Healthy Cooking in the Classroom program. This program is just one of four programs that is supported through funds raised by the Inspire Wellness Initiative. This support will help sustain and develop these programs for years to come.

This project reached 1,604 students which included all of the 4th and 5th graders in the West Fargo School District during the 2015-16 school year. Students participated in four lessons throughout the school year and each lesson discussed the MyPlate food groups and information on good nutrition. Students also had the opportunity to make (and eat) four Simple Cooking with Heart recipes which corresponded to the food group highlighted in each lesson.

Family Wellness is not only teaching important life skills but we are guiding them in their lifelong journey of improving their mind, body, spirit and community. Family Wellness can’t wait for Healthy Cooking in the Classroom for the 2016-17 school year!
