University of Missouri Phelps County, (573) 458-6260A number of Phelps County schools are participating in the Family Nutrition Education
Program.
Schools in Rolla, Newburg, St James, and Edgar Springs have committed to at least 5
nutrition lessons during the current school year. Not only does the lessons cover basic
nutrition, but also food safety, exercise, diseases, and fad dieting. The lessons are
taught by means of experiments, videos, worksheets, food samples, food models, and any
other way that might get the students involved!
I like to think that we have some information that would benefit any
person concerned about his or her health. If you need ideas for feeding
your child healthy snacks, curious on the fat or calories that are in
certain fast foods, or want dieting tips that information is available.
