April 1—Healthy vegetables and fruit offerings are everywhere these days at local schools‚ in morning snacks at elementary schools, in lunch menus and now they’re spreading to the after-school time slot in some Lexington (Neb.) Public Schools.
CATCH, an eight-week healthy eating program provides lesson plans about healthy food options and fun snacking options.
CATCH stands for: Coordinated Approach To Child Health and is funded through a Minority and Health Disparities Grant covering six counties, said CFI Program Coordinator Tiffany Carlson, who has helped implement the CATCH program.
