Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables.
Stay hydrated, drink water throughout the day.
Enjoy your favorite holiday dishes in moderation.

🎃 Be Allergy-Aware This Halloween! 🎃
For kids with food allergies, Halloween can be tricky — but with a little extra care, it can still be tons of fun!

Here are a few food allergy safety tips from Community Health of Central Washington:
-Check every candy label — common allergens like nuts, dairy, and soy are often hidden in treats
-Avoid unlabeled or homemade goodies
-Teach kids to wait until an adult checks their candy
-Look for homes with a Teal Pumpkin — they offer non-food treats for kids with allergies!

Want to join the movement?
Place a teal pumpkin outside your home to support kids with allergies.
Let’s make Halloween inclusive, safe, and fun for all kids!
