P.E. Teacher of the Year Named best high school physical education teacher of the year by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, Dale Kephart uses fun and music to help kids get fit for life. Some California educators think so. Those are the words of Sabina M. Mosso, who teaches preschoolers and kindergartners at Anna Boyd Child Development Center in Columbia, South Carolina. The Dole Food Company has recognized Mosso s outstanding efforts to improve student nutrition, both in her school, and in other school districts in her state.

Students share information, compare data, and learn about foods from around the world.
