Goal 2: Equip Missouri children with the knowledge and skills to make healthy eating and activity choices through nutrition education that reinforces Team Nutrition (TN) messages.

Goal 3: Enable schools and child care facilities to implement policies that promote healthy eating and increased physical activity.

To find out if your school is enrolled as a Team Nutrition school, check the USDA schools database.
