We are pleased and excited to announce that we have a NEW holiday card! It’s the Polar Bear Holiday Card and oh-so-cute! Can you guess what the fish are made of?
You can order the Foodscapes Polar Bear Holiday Cards here.
We have three other Foodscapes holiday cards to choose from as well – Enjoy!
I found this picture of Michele Saylor, Susan Turgeson, Jane Norman and I at the AAFCS Conference 2009. Cute!
Candy is my favorite part of Halloween! With all the treats being passed around, it’s important to make sure your family (or students) are practicing proper food safety. I came across this informative article – Halloween Food Safety Tips – on the Food Safety News web site that offers excellent tips to keep in mind! Check it out here.
Londa and Angela just returned from FNCE in Denver, CO. They got to meet many attendees and enjoy the remnants of two 80 degree days!
Our booth #418 contained a colorful mix of posters, PowerPoints, bulletin board kits, DVDs, 5 minute activity books, and tablets.
We featured a few new posters: Great Apps, Periodic Table of Snacks, and American Gothic: Farm to Fork, Eat Local and the holiday cards. We will have another holiday card design coming soon (think potato polar bears ice fishing…).
Angela & Londa’s favorite goodie they picked up in the expo hall were the NEW mini Coke cans! Luckily Londa’s didn’t explode in her suitcase on the way home!
See the short video they made while exhibiting.

By getting the whole family involved in making healthy choices, eating healthy and exercising can be a fun part of your daily routine. Small steps really will add up to a healthy family – and a healthy child! More…“
Perfect weather, beautiful Washington State and a great opportunity to showcase Learning Zone’s many new products at the Joint Conference on Health in Yakima!
The conference was supported by the Washington State Public Health Association, the Washington State Department of Health and several other organizations. Health professionals stayed focused on the important education sessions throughout the two day conference on October 5-6. Our colorful hand washing bulletin board and hand washing posters drew a lot of attention. Thank you to those who attended for stopping by the Learning ZoneXpress table to say hello to Amy.
You can still download some of our new hand washing posters for free here:
It was so fun to be at parent’s weekend at Drake with my daughter Noelle a few weeks ago. We even saw a few Learning ZoneXpress posters hanging in the university’s cafeteria! Check them out below:
We also had Angela exhibit at the Minnesota SHRM conference on Oct. 12 in Rochester, Minnesota – home of the Mayo Clinic. It’s been snowing the past few days here - and Monday of the conference was no different!
We were exhibiting our adult nutrition education products for company worksite wellness programs. See a short clip of our Learning ZoneXpress booth at SHRM:
Angela was fired up when she returned from exhibiting at the CSBA’s School Wellness Conference in Anaheim, CA Oct. 6-7. She received great feedback on the 5 Minute Activities, hand washing products, and the Portion Distortion Banner.
One of her highlights of the conference was being able to hear Dr. John Ratey speak. She’s now reading is book, Spark!
