Mason County students were "Clued In" 🔎to healthy breakfast choices this week in honor of National School Breakfast Week. 🍓 Did you know that children and young people who frequently share meals with their families/support system report better nutrition and eating behaviors like eating more vegetables and less fast food? --Thank you to the Hill family for 📷, creating promotional materials, and allowing your 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to fully embrace school meals! I hope you had a "berry" great week! Signing off until next time--Your friendly RD and Child Nutrition Director, Christina Nelson, MS, RD, LD

Did you know that our school donuts are whole grain?! 🍩 Whole grains are grains that have not been cracked, crushed, rolled, extruded, and/or cooked. Whole grains contain all the essential parts and naturally-occurring nutrients of the entire grain. Look at the ingredient list 📑 for whole grain, whole wheat, and whole (other grain), to assure you are getting a product that contains all parts of the grain. 👨‍🌾 If you see words like wheat, wheat flour, durum wheat, multigrain, and stoneground, you may be missing parts of the grain. 🌾 Fun Food Fact: Words like enriched flour, degerminated, bran and wheat germ in foods are products you want to avoid if you want to consume whole grains because these are not whole grains! Do-nut forget to stop by your cafeteria for a WHOLE-some breakfast- Your friendly RD and Child Nutrition Director
