Child Nutrition Program Prospective New Sponsor Checklists
Louisiana Fit Kids
Louisiana Fit Kids is a partnership between the Louisiana Department of Education, Division of Nutrition Support and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. This partnership seeks to support the efforts of child nutrition program sponsoring organizations to improve the quality of children’s diets and reduce child food insecurity while maintaining USDA nutrition standards designed to reduce the instance of childhood obesity and health-related concerns.
Seeds to Success
Seeds to Success is funded through the Louisiana Department of Education Division of Nutrition Support in collaboration with the Louisiana Farm to School Program of Louisiana State University Agricultural Center.
Seeds to Success strives to provide a resource for Louisiana students, parents, and teachers to find fun and educational materials related to agriculture and nutrition at both school and home. The Seeds to Success project sprouted out of a U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm to School grant. It started with the idea that our relationship with food transforms when we are able to experience it unfolding, from seed to plate.
