Silver Spring Children Get Lesson in Nutrition

Kids at the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club participate every Tuesday.

The exercise, Created by five University of Maryland students, is a nutritional activity that educates students about healthier options by tasking them with developing their own grocery list.
