Every month of July, schools celebrate Nutrition Month. Some do it with Nutrition month costumes, poster and slogan making contests, essay writing contests, parades, declamation pieces and other activities.
In my kids' school, they celebrated last year's Nutrition Month this way (ok, I should have posted this last year). Anyway, here it is.
Each grade level were assigned with a food booth - rice, chicken, fish, pork, fruits, vegetables, beef, fruit juice, healthy snacks, etc.

The booths were decorated and filled with food according to their "assigned food." I just like this idea!
 |
| get your fresh fruit juices here |
 |
| want some fruits for dessert? |
 |
| brighten your day with a healthy snack |
The students got to visit each booth and taste what they want.
 |
| bagoong rice, Hawaiian rice or garlic rice |
 |
| fresh mango juice for me please |
The middle and higher grade levels had a cooking demo. While the little ones wore headdresses and stick fruits or veggies in their shirts.
 |
| remember - pork is a source of iron and protein |
 |
| we're ready to cook the fish! |
Through this, the students become aware with the importance of having good nutrition like - eating the right amount of food, adding fruits and veggies in their diet, and a lot more.

This 2015, Nutrition Month's theme is
"Timbang iwasto sa tamang nutrisyon at ehersisyo!" No idea yet what their school activities would be.
Still, we should always make it a point to give our kids the right nutrition every day, right?
Need a costume for your kids or other activities for Nutrition month? Check out my
son's cabbage headdress and my niece's fruit hat to give you some ideas.
