Dear Mr. and Mrs. Parents,

Children who learn to live healthy, live longer. By establishing healthy habits early in life, children can dramatically reduce their health risks and increase their chances for longer, more productive lives. We all want the best for our children. Here's how you can help:

The Community Middle School Good Nutrition Council encourages you to support their Healthy Meals for Healthy Kids initiative. The Council, comprised of parents, teachers, students and staff, are promoting improved nutrition education and healthy food choices.

We are encouraging all parents to participate in this effort. Together, by supporting school nutrition efforts and reinforcing healthy habits at home, we can help your children lead the healthiest lives possible.

Please join the parents and teachers of your child's school on Wednesday, January 29 at 7:00 pm in the school auditorium for a meeting to learn more about the Healthy School effort. Our keynote speakers, Dr. John Cosby, a nutrition expert, and Mr. Super Intendant, a national expert on education, will discuss the importance of nutrition to good health and academic performance.

In closing, I'd like to invite all parents to share lunch with their children, at least once this year, in our school cafeteria. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to phone me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Hope to see you on January 29.

Sincerely,
John Doe, PhD
