Last week, we were honored to welcome Prince George’s County Public Schools Interim Superintendent Dr. Shawn Joseph, Chief of Staff Dr. Deann M. Collins, and School Board Member Aimee Olivo to a Brighter Bites distribution at Bladensburg Elementary School.⁠
⁠
As a Community School partner, Brighter Bites works alongside schools to support families with consistent access to fresh, healthy food and nutrition education. During the visit, leaders saw how Community Schools create the conditions for programs like ours to meet families where they are—right on campus—with produce and staple foods that support healthy meals at home.⁠
⁠
We’re grateful for Maryland’s investment in the Community Schools movement and for the partnership with PGCPS that makes this work possible. Together, we’re strengthening schools as hubs of support and helping families bring more fruits and vegetables to the table. 🍎🥕

We had the BEST time with the 3rd graders at Kashmere Gardens Elementary!⁠
⁠
The class had a blast making our “Better Than Ranch” dip and “Yellow Smoothie” recipe. It was the perfect mix of hands-on learning and tasty fun — every table got to measure, mix, and create their own recipe! 🥕🍋🥰⁠
⁠
⁠
The kiddos were so excited, and they even received take-home recipe cards to share with their families. Nothing beats seeing their smiles and curiosity in action!
