As we start the New Year we'd like to share with you an email that we received from a third grade teacher:

I am a 3rd grade teacher for special education students in a self-contained classroom in Irvine.  This is the first year I introduced your entire 3rd grade curriculum.  Today was parent teacher conference day and a parent shared the following:  

She eagerly shared that she felt the lessons were life-changing and powerful. She commented that the program is so successful that her son ate some vegetables he would never have considered prior to the teaching.  Mom went on to say how much this has impacted their eating habits since her son talks about the pyramid and healthy foods at almost every meal.  He even asked about the calories and stated the sugar content in an unhealthy snack.  

Thank you for bringing this wonderful curriculum into our classroom.  It truly is changing lives.

Hearing stories like these from teachers is very rewarding and encouraging. Thank you Patricia for the email and to all teachers that are taking the time to teach health to children in schools.
