Brain fuel for Washoe Students
The University of Nevada, Reno is not the only school receiving grants for new projects. The Washoe County School District recently implemented the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, which provides produce to students at 34 local schools. Schools in which more than half of the students are enrolled in free or reduced lunch are eligible for the program, funded with $2 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Part of the initiative includes educating students and teachers about healthy foods, spearheaded by UNR’s cooperative extension department and funded by the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program education project, SNAP-Ed.
