“Eat a Rainbow” is one of CCE Monroe 4-H Agriculture in the Classroom lessons provided to students throughout Monroe County schools. Through this hands-on experience students are encouraged to taste new foods while learning about the importance of healthy eating. Educators also incorporate the importance of proper nutrition for animals and how farmers monitor their animals’ health.
Students from Churchville-Chili Middle School shared this about their experience: “This is the best lesson ever!” and “I think peppers are my new favorite pizza topping!”
One student, whose family owns a pizza shop in town, said the lesson reminded her of her family’s pizza shop, and she had a lot of fun building her own pizza.
