Teachers and parents can invite kids to become MyPlate Champions by sharing the MyPlate Pledgein Spanish. Educators and health professionals can integrate the En Español section of ChooseMyPlate.gov into program and education efforts. The new resources can be used as part of community health fairs or included in local initiatives to encourage healthy choices at school, work and home.
