We hope you have been having a wonderful summer and staying cool!

We want to give a big shout out to all the campers with San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department and all our other summer sites!

Students learned about the 5 food groups, how to make healthier food choices, and that running and playing is a great way to be physically active!

Did you know ice cream is a dairy food??

Students at Harlandale ISD learned that ice cream is in fact a dairy food, but also that there are healthier options like low-fat milk and cheese which is why we save sweet treats for special occasions and parties!

They also learned that eating dairy foods help our bodies get the calcium it needs to grow strong bones and teeth.

We are enjoying all of our spring youth classes and looking for a few more summer youth sites!

If you are interested in learning more about working with us this summer, please give us a call at 210-732-9300 or request a class through our website at, https://efnep.tamu.edu/distanceedu/

It may not be officially spring yet, but this warmer weather has come just in time for us to use the outdoor teaching kitchen here at the Bexar County Greenies Urban Farm!

Each week this month our EFNEP team will be demonstrating basic cooking skills, food safety, and most importantly how to cook delicious and healthy tacos during this one time series dubbed Taco Tuesday!

Each week they will be covering a different protein source and providing excellent tips on how to make tacos healthy, tasty, and easy on the wallet, happening only at the farm so do not pass up this opportunity!

Be sure to reach out to the Bexar County AgriLife Extension office at 210-631-0400 for more information about this and all the other programs we have going on at the farm!

EFNEP Bexar County enjoyed doing what we do best and providing quality education around cooking and nutrition to two Northside ISD departments earlier this week!

Our adult staff provided valuable information around knife skills, recipe preparation, and establishing a strong team mindset to NISD Child Nutrition Services.

Our youth staff gave insight into how we teach older youth groups nutrition by displaying both digital and hands on activities to use in the classroom to Northside ISD Physical Education.

Thank you to both departments for the invitation and all the hard work they are doing for the students and families in their district!

We have had a great start to the new year working with the parents at Neil Armstrong Elementary with South San Antonio ISD!

In our first lesson we talk about setting better health goals. The difference between a good goal and a better goal is that a better goal is clear, measurable, and realistic.

A good goal is "I will be physically active"
A better goal is "I will do 30 minutes of body weight exercises 3 times this week.

We helped with that goal by doing some stretching and light physical activity during class, every little bit counts!

We here at EFNEP hope you have had a great start 2026! We recently moved offices and are now headquartered at the brand ...
