I am very happy that $76,392 in state funding has been awarded two area schools to provide fruits and vegetables to students under the federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. We know that teaching our kids healthy eating habits from an early age is critical to maintaining a healthy relationship with food for a lifetime. Our schools are one of the best places for them to learn how to eat healthily. Thanks to this federal funding, our schools can help us teach our kids to make smart, healthy choices at snack time by making tasty fresh fruits and vegetables available to them.

Happy 233rd birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard! Between defending critical U.S. ports and waterways, serving as first responders, and enforcing maritime law, the U.S. Coast Guard really does it all.

August is National Wellness Month and one of the best places in the area to practice wellness is on the Capital Area Greenbelt! Recently Rep.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to join the PA House Democratic Policy Committee and tour Wyomissing Area & Reading High Schools to understand the disparities students experience in school district mere minutes away from one another. The state has a Constitutional mandate to provide a “thorough and efficient” public education. We have the resources to close educational gaps regardless of where a student lives. My colleagues and I are excited to get to work!
