Team Nutrition: Are you on the Team?

The first issue of SD TEAM Nutrition was mailed last week to team members of SD TEAM Nutrition.  However, we may have missed you because we don’t have a current list of all members in the state.  If you didn’t get a copy of SD TEAM nutrition and you are on a team, please let us know and we will add you to the mailing list.  Please send an email to amy.richards@sd.state.us with your name, mailing address, and email address. Write that you would like to receive the newsletter in the text of the email.  If your school district isn’t on the team and would like to be, go to http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/ and you can learn how to form a team and get your district on board. 

Mini-grant applications for $1000.00 grants to work on TEAM nutrition projects in your facilities will be mailed out within the next month.  This is a great opportunity to get some cash to help pay for a project to make a difference in the nutritional health of your students.  While it may not seem like a lot of money, there are actually a lot of things that you could do with it that could make a world of difference in student’s lives.

SD TEAM Nutrition is on the web!  You can find us by going to the CANS site and clicking on TEAM nutrition or by typing in the following web address:  http://www.state.sd.us/deca/CSCF/CANS/Nutrition/index.htm. There you can view the handouts from the TEAM nutrition summer workshop and learn more about what is going on with SD TEAM nutrition.  The website is under construction, so watch for new additions!
