Myers Students Learning Healthy Skills

Myers-Healthy-SkillsGeorge L. Myers third grade students are learning about healthy eating and exercise. The students are visited once a week by members of the Portage YMCA staff. They are being taught about the nutritional value of foods and how to make better food choices.

The YMCA has provided foods for the children to taste. The children have been encouraged to try some interesting new foods such as avocados, tofu, and spinach. They are also being taught about foods that may not be as healthy for them.
