National Nutrition Month!
Solana Beach School District is excited to celebrate National Nutrition month in our schools this year! It is a great compliment to our Child Nutrition Initiative which provides us with our delicious, healthy school lunches.
National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education campaign celebrated annually in March. Our goal in SBSD is to celebrate National Nutrition month and eating healthy at school and home. The theme for 2017 is "Put Your Best Fork Forward", a message to our students and families that each bite counts!
