“Birthday cupcakes and low sugar food lists are being replaced this back-to-school season at Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School, Englewood, NJ with HealthBarn® USA’s Healthy Lifestyle Birthday Enrichment Program beginning September 25 and supported by the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Bergen-Passaic Chapter (NCBW) and in collaboration with the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).
