This management bulletin provides a new Team Nutrition (TN) resource available to child nutrition program sponsors for use in their nutrition education activities.
As part of the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services’ (FNS) TN materials, FNS created black-and-white and color versions of the "Ten Steps for Parents" flyer that is attached. This two-sided handout encourages parents to get involved with children's eating and physical activity behaviors. One side displays the Food Guide Pyramid and provides tips for parents to advocate for healthy school meals. The other side displays an Activity Pyramid and offers suggestions to make physical activity an integral part of children’s lives.
The TN Web site is a valuable source of many nutrition education materials. We encourage you to reproduce and distribute materials such as the attached flyer to the child nutrition professionals in your agency and the children and families you serve in your programs. Check the TN Web site often for new materials available for your use.
