Nutrition in Education Advocacy

We Did It!

One of the bills I have been advocating for is Bill 110 - a provision that will allow school property in Kentucky to be made available for the community to use to be more physically active. A bill that would allow schools to open up their playgrounds to children on the weekends, or their halls to walking programs in the winter, without the worry of liabilities.

Before I even started this blog, I spoke to my Community Nutrition class about the importance of this piece of legislature.

Well, we did it!  Senate Bill 110 passed with overwhelming support this week! What a great was to end National Nutrition Month!
