Grand Valley Local School District

Just a Reminder Tuesday is Tie Dye Tuesday! Some of the best tie dye shirts have many different colors. Did you know that your plate should be colorful too? Not your physical plate you eat off of but the fruit and vegetables this is on it! We all should be eating fruits and vegetables of all the colors of the rainbow. Different colored fruit and vegetables have different vitamins and minerals that our body needs to stay healthy. Try very hard this week to look at your plate and eat all the colors of the rainbow. https://www.choosemyplate.gov/
