Healthy Planet, Healthy Kids

Have you ordered your calendars yet? The theme for our 2027 CACFP Nutrition Calendar and Training Program is Healthy Planet, Healthy Kids. Children will learn about ways that they can keep the planet healthy and beautiful all year long, while also learning about the importance of nutrition. Each calendar also comes with a five-hour training module, activity pages, parent connection newsletters, a recipe book and motivation moments. Orders close on June 12.
