Kid's Nutrition Program
Educating Children Throughout the LC-Valley
The Tri-State Kid’s Nutrition Program started in 2019 when the team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists at Tri-State Wellness decided to commit their time to improve the health and wellbeing of our children in the Lewis-Clark Valley. Over the past two years, 12 elementary schools, with over 3,300 students have received educational videos at home or in school covering lessons on basic food groups and healthy snack recipes. Tri-State Wellness provided a cookbook and apron to each participating child to equip them in the kitchen with their newly learned skills!
