Food Is Elementary© (FIE)

 

 

Food is Elementary© (FIE) is a unique and vibrant curriculum introduced into schools and communities that teach children about food, nutrition, culture, and healthy living by:

 

" Educating children about the relationship between food choices and disease prevention
" Encouraging a child's natural curiosity and creativity to be the foundation of learning
" Providing children with the life skill of food preparation through hands-on interactive experience
" Introducing healthful foods through the traditions and arts of different cultures
" Involving Families and Community in classroom teaching, school meals, gardens, and collaborative mural projects

 

"(This) is the most creative, organized, and crucial program I have ever been involved in. What a wonderful thing for our children not only to learn to cook and eat healthy, but to be exposed to so many different cultures. I love it!"
