Nutrition Rocks! O'Neill Hosts Cornell Cooperative for Summer Students

The Summer Enrichment Program at O'Neill Elementary School hosted a special group on Tuesday morning.

The Cornell University Cooperative Extension NYC (CUCE) came to share healthy food options and teach students about proteins, vegetables, grains, and fruits.

The primary goals of CUCE-NYC's research and outreach initiatives are to establish robust, secure food systems and to support healthy human development. The instructors provided cartoon characters centered around different food groups to help the students remember which foods belong in those groups.

After learning about the four groups, students were called up to match food cards with their corresponding groups, creating a fun and useful learning environment.
