Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program
We are proud to announce that the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) has selected all Balsz School District Schools to participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for the 24-25 school year. All Balsz students will have the opportunity to try different fresh fruits and vegetables 3 times a week year round. (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays)
What is FFVP?
FFVP stands for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. This is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to children at eligible elementary schools during the school day. The goal of the FFVP is to introduce children to fresh fruits and vegetables, to include new and different varieties, and to increase overall acceptance and consumption of fresh, unprocessed produce among children. The FFVP also encourages healthier school environments by promoting nutrition education.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
