Nutrition Tips

As we continue with Shop-Rite in a collaborative effort to increase our overall fitness levels we have been provided a list of Nutrition Tips for the week. These tips offer great suggestions in getting the proper fuel into our body. Please stop by Shop-Rite and say hello to Carly Sopko who is coordinating the efforts to partner with our school.
