NAPA (Nutrition and Physical Activity)

The NAPA program offers health, nutrition, and physical activity education to State Preschools and Centers operated by the Shasta County Office of Education.

The goal of the NAPA program is to increase enjoyment and consumption of fruits and vegetables and promote physical activity. We want to motivate and inspire children and adults to get plenty of exercise everyday and to learn fun and creative ways to eat more fruits and vegetables. Research tells us that eating at least 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables will reduce our chances of developing serious health problems like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. These diseases can hurt our bodies and shorten our lives. We have the tools to help our health, so let’s use them!

For more information, please contact Tom O`Mara at (530) 224-3217, or Tanya Marshall at (530) 224-3214.

The Napa Program is sponsored by Shasta County Office of Education, and funded through the California Department of Health Services by the Food Stamp Program of the United States Department of Agriculture.
