We provide free nutrition workshops to Edmonton elementary schools.
The AppreciATE Food School Workshop is a free, volunteer-run elementary school nutrition outreach program directed at Grade 5 students. Based in Edmonton and developed alongside the Alberta Grade 5 Wellness Outcomes and Canada’s Food Guide, it is delivered as a 60 minute workshop with interactive presentations and stations. The program was launched in September 2022, and since then has visited several Edmonton schools.
Through the AppreciATE Food School Workshop, we strive to inspire young students to explore and appreciate the many different values of food (nutrition and beyond!). By encouraging balance and variety, we celebrate food as a vessel for nourishment, culture, and enjoyment.
The program is led by Megan Lange and delivered by a team of University of Alberta Dietetics students. Our team is passionate about evidence-based nutrition education and inspiring future generations.

Since the content of our program is tailored to the Alberta Grade 5 Wellness Outcomes, we are currently only presenting to Grade 5 students. However, if your school is interested in workshops for other grades, please reach out to us by email (megan@appreciatefood.ca) or the inquiry form below.
One workshop (with two grade 5 classes) is 60 minutes. Depending on the number of grade 5 classes, we repeat the workshop as required.
Each 60 minute workshop can accommodate up to 60 students (around two grade 5 classes). We can also accommodate smaller class sizes.
