 Teachers and Farm Bureau: Partners for Student Health

These Watauga County Schools teachers recently completed training on using “The Farmer Grows a Rainbow,” a kit with lessons and physical activities that help cover nutrition and fitness topics for elementary and middle school students.  The Watauga County Farm Bureau provided free kits for each PreK-eighth grade school and a brunch for each teacher participating in the training.
