“As a Maryland dairy farmer, a registered nurse, and a parent, I know firsthand the importance of providing children with a nutritious meal to start their day off right,” said Boyce. “I’m proud of the role dairy farmers play in providing milk, cheese and yogurt for school meals, during National School Breakfast Week, and throughout the year.”
Former Baltimore Ravens player Qadry Ismail also participated in the event as part of ADA North East’s Fuel Up to Place 60 and National Football League partnership. He supported the messaging about starting the day with a healthy breakfast that includes dairy and incorporating daily physical activity.
ADA North East will be participating in several events to recognize March as National Nutrition Month.
