BHC Healthy at Home - Choosing Healthy Beverages

This month, students were taught a BHC nutrition lesson on ‘Healthy Drinks.’ Students learned the importance of drinking healthy beverages and staying hydrated. They learned about how many beverages have too much added sugar which can be harmful to the body and why. Controlling sugar intake also helps keep Healthy Teeth and Healthy Sleep Habits! **Families – please help Building Healthy Communities collect feedback about their grant program by filling out this brief survey. Thank you!
