An evaluation of Food for Us shows that the program actually works in both the short term and the long term.

Kit includes:

• Teacher guide with classroom activities
• Class set of colourful student workbooks
• Food group poster and food pictures

Program materials are only available to teachers who have taken the workshop. Why take a nutrition education workshop? Watch this two-minute video!

The workshop is free. There is a one time cost of $20 to purchase the initial kit - student materials and any program updates are re-supplied annually free of charge.
