So inspiring to hear from students of @FoodPrintsDC at the #FoodIsMedicine Summit, sharing how fun and delicious healthy food can be!

Four amazing students taught Members of Congress how to make Tuscan Kale Salad - and shared what they loved about FoodPrints - today at the @HHSGov #FoodIsMedicine Summit.

A study by @GWtweets published in @jnebonline brings forward youth voices to show FoodPrints #foodeducation has a lasting impact on healthy dietary behaviors at home and beyond.

"FoodPrints teaches you to be independent in cooking for yourself." 🥕🍽️

Check out this @DCist story about FoodPrints! You'll wish you were in 3rd grade at @WallsAtFrancis where students #growcookeatlearn:
🥬 Zendaya learned leaves “give the plant food” through photosynthesis
🥬 Kale is Graham's "favorite super food”

Thrilled to be featured @AubreyNPR on how our @FRESHFARMDC FoodPrints program weaves food & cooking into the curriculum. Against the backdrop of high rates of diet-related disease, "an investment in nutrition education makes sense." @USDANutrition

"I want to be just like you!"

"I wish we could come here everyday.”

On our field trip to @dcck, FoodPrints summer students joined the team as chefs to prepare meals and help their communities. They came away dreaming big about their futures! 🍲

Students make connections in school gardens. Our summer students at @PayneDCPS learned about plant traits & discussed human-plant interactions via the exchange of oxygen and CO2. Cyrus summed up this plant love: "We need them and they need us." 🌱 #summerlearning @dcpublicschools

[FRESHFARM FoodPrints @FoodPrintsDC]

Our @dcpublicschools summer students are learning about new kitchen and garden tools - and how to use them safely. They used graters to grate apples, beets, and carrots for ABC Salad. Many are trying and liking this new food! 🍎🥕
