First Lady Michelle Obama invited students from across the country to join her today on the South Lawn for what has become a favorite tradition: planting the White House Kitchen Garden. For the fifth year in a row, Mrs. Obama and Let's Move Executive Director Sam Kass got their hands dirty as they planted the vegetables that will be harvested this summer and enjoyed by the First Family and White House guests, and donated to local charities.

The First Family today welcomed more than 30,000 guests to the South Lawn for the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. This year's theme, "Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You" was inspired by Let's Move!, and the day's fun included numerous opportunities for the young guests to get moving, from the traditional Egg Roll to the Eggtivity Zone, an obstacle course where players and coaches from professional sports teams taught kids how to play sports and showed them easy, fun ways to stay active and fit.

Eating in the classroom can be a messy affair, but in Las Cruces, New Mexico, it is also a great learning experience! Students in 24 elementary schools and one middle school are learning about healthy foods through snack-making lessons and hands-on tasting experiences right in the classroom. Kids are grinding grain, growing sprouts in the classroom, planting gardens and tasting new fruits and vegetables.

Kihei Public Charter School (KPCS) in Hawaii is unique—the school relies on its immediate neighborhood for all hot items served in its cafeteria.
