GBW Students Learn about Good Nutrition
Click Photo for FlashFourth-grade students at Greenbriar West Elementary spent a December afternoon with Fairfax County Public Schools Food Services Operation Specialist Teresa Hinds learning about healthy diet and exercise. After discussing how to stay healthy, the students cleaned their hands, donned plastic gloves and prepared pizzas and fruit kabobs.
While the pizzas cooked, the students worked in food-related workbooks. Then after enjoying the food they’d made, they exercised during recess. The lesson was part of the school’s science curriculum on health and nutrition. GBW is encouraging its students to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
