In July 2005, The Mary Washington Hospital Foundation sponsored a grant for a part-time dietitian to coordinate efforts for a nutrition wellness pilot program in Spotsylvania schools. 

Many exciting events happened during that first school year.  Subsequently, a grant extension was submitted and approved by the hospital foundation so that we might continue the wellness initiatives during the ’06-’07 school year. In addition, the School Board approved a recommendation by school administration officials that the position of Wellness Dietitian become full-time.

 

We hope you will use this website to gather nutrition information, become involved in the nutrition programs at your schools, and to provide us with your suggestions so that we may serve you better. We look forward to an exciting time ahead.
