Spring has sprung, and summer is just around the corner! The Calfresh Healthy Living (CFHL), UCCE Riverside Team is excited to share some pictures from March and April.

At New Horizons High School, students rolled up their sleeves and helped fill a brand-new garden bed with lettuce, squash, and sugar snap peas.

At Banning High School, students participated in a Mental Health Wellness Walk, where CFHL, UCCE shared teen nutrition booklets with nutrition information and activities, along with recipe cards.

At Loma Vista Middle School, our educator explored different seed types with students, and the students made mini greenhouses with tomato seeds to take home and grow.

As summer break comes to an end, CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE Riverside County would like to share some summer highlights. A big shout out to the Community Settlement Association and Coral Mountain Academy for their continued partnership.
