Nutrition Education

Nutrition education empowers children to reach their full potential and live life to the fullest. Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) is joining forces to promote the well-being of Fairfax County students, families, and residents. Whether it is a local farmer, chef, or STEAM teacher, we believe school nutrition programs can positively impact communities when working collaboratively. Engaging students in informative nutrition education should be our pathway to enhancing wellness.
