  2. Campaign Overview March 2007 –National Nutrition Month Taos Pueblo Community Wellness Program and TPSU HH Project posted a “Nutrition Question of the Week” at 8 different sites throughout the Pueblo (Governor’s Office; Taos Day School; TPSU Clinic; Senior Center; etc.) with posters of the weekly question and boxes for answers. Correct answers were eligible for a prize drawing each week.

  3. Sample Flyer March is National Nutrition Month A reminder that “Eating Smart to Stay Healthy” means being smart about the foods we eat –knowing what we are eating and making wise food choices. To get started on the path to eating smart and staying healthy, each Monday in March, the Taos Pueblo Community Wellness Program will post a Nutrition Question of the Week at facilities in the Pueblo. The deadline for submitting answers will be each Friday by 12:00 noon. The winner of the week will be drawn Friday afternoon from all of the correct answers received. Each Monday we will post a new question and provide the answers and the winner’s name from the previous week. We hope to have a full month to learn new behaviors that will guide us down the path of being healthy……
