Child Nutrition Topics Offered through the DDN |

Child and Adult
Nutrition Services are offering 4 DDN sessions on child
nutrition topics from January through April 2008. Each session
will be two hours in length. The target audience is child
nutrition program staff, school wellness committee members,
teachers, administrators, school board members, parents and
other agency staff wanting to know more about these topics.
Others, such as SDSU Cooperative Extension, master gardeners,
health care professionals, concerned community members, etc, may
attend as space permits.
The January session will cover information pertaining to how the
school meal patterns may change and changes schools can make to
be ready. The February session will cover the basics of setting
up a school garden and how to link gardens to the cafeteria and
the classroom. The March session will teach schools to use
social marketing principles to motivate students to choose
healthy foods and beverages and be more physically active. The
April session will cover 2 topics: baking with whole grains and
evaluating all foods and beverages in the school to see how they
fit into the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The sessions will be taught by Department of Education and South
Dakota State University staff as well as others to be
determined.
At this time, we are accepting applications to host the DDN
sessions. We will then select the locations for which the DDN
will be broadcast. Please submit the attached application form
