Eating should be natural, healthy and pleasurable. But in our diet-obsessed culture, eating is often mindless, consuming and guilt-inducing instead. The cure? Mindful eating. Mindful eating is about experiencing food more intensely by paying attention to the colors, smells, flavors and textures. It’s also about realizing what’s on your mind when you are eating and eliminating the distractions that can lead to poor choices.


The BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative provides school districts with an opportunity to save time and money while purchasing the products they use every day. School districts can benefit from BuyBoard, which was developed to comply with state laws requiring government entities to make purchases from an approved list of vendors who have gone through a competitive bidding process. BuyBoard is supported by the Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Administrators, and the Illinois Association of School Boards.
