CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE Riverside County

CFHL, UCCE Riverside is proud to have partnered with Jackson Early Childhood Education (ECE) for over a decade, working together to nurture the growth of our youngest learners. From supporting the school garden to nutrition education, we’re all about planting the seeds for healthy, thriving futures!
✨ Highlights from this Year:
● Garden Support: Fall & spring planting events helped cultivate the school’s garden.

● Family Engagement: The Jackson ECE Walk-a-Thon is an event that allows families to enjoy a fun and engaging way to promote health and fitness! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

● Nutrition Education: Go, Glow, Grow curriculum, kids learned about healthy eating, physical activity, and handwashing habits. 🥦🍎🍊

● Physical Activity: CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health), children walked, ran, jumped, danced, and moved their whole bodies while playing and having fun. 🏃‍♂️🤸‍♀️
“The garden is an amazing activity for the students - they really enjoy it. Thanks again for a wonderful year, hope we can plant again next year.”

Together, we’re creating lasting positive health impacts in schools and the community. 🌟
