Snacks at Neill

Neill has been selected to participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) for the 2024-25 school year. The FFVP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the Minnesota Department of Education. A fresh fruit or vegetable snack will be provided for students approximately four times per week (Monday-Thursday). This program will start at your child’s school in October 2024. 

Snacks are generally served mid-morning or afternoon. The FFVP is an excellent way to enhance other wellness programs in the school that promote health, nutrition, and physical activity. The main goal of the FFVP is to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of elementary school children. In addition to providing fresh fruits and vegetables, another goal of this program is to provide nutrition education to the children.  Please continue to talk with your children about the healthy choices they receive at school.

Thank you for your support of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program!
