Fruit & Vegetable Day for Texas Schools

A big Texas thank you to Rep. Carrie Isaac for putting forth HB 3991, as well as for all your effort to get it passed.

Why Fruit and Vegetable Day in Texas Schools?

To promote awareness of the health benefits of fruits and vegetables and to encourage students to consume more fruits and vegetables during Texas Fruit and Vegetable Month.

  • April is Fruit & Vegetable Month in Texas.

  • Fruit & Vegetable Day for Texas schools will be celebrated every first Friday in the month of April.
