Winter Wellness
Here’s a few ways to support your immune system this winter:
- Warm Up with Drinks & Soups: Sip on hot teas, broths, and soups to stay cozy and hydrated.
- Get Moving: Exercise outdoors when you can. Fresh air and nature help reduce inflammation and boost mood.
- Eat Immune-Boosting Foods: Include vitamin D and Omega-3 rich foods like fatty fish, eggs, milk, mushrooms, flax seeds, and chia seeds.
- Stay Connected: Spend quality time with family and friends. Bake, cook, play board games, or take walks together.

Harvest of the Month: Carrots
Root vegetables are in season! Offering in-season and local produce is one of our core values. Choosing seasonal and locally grown foods means better flavor, fresher ingredients, and support for our local farmers.
Try our Harvest of the Month Salad—available Wednesday and Friday in the cafeteria!
Carrots, jicama, and a sprinkle of Tajín! Fresh, crunchy, and delicious.
