Jill and Mark Jayne appear with watermelon in tow on Pittsburgh’s KDKA, the world’s first modern radio station. That fun fact was courtesy of Jill and Mark’s dad. The brother-sister duo are Pittsburgh natives who expressed their teenage angst performing in rock bands and now use their music backgrounds, and their respective degrees, to teach kids about nutrition. Jill holds her BS in Nutrition from Penn State, her MS in Nutrition Education from Columbia University, and is a registered dietitian. Mark holds his BA in public relations from Penn State, and is currently pursuing his MS in Education at Duquense University. In this segment, the Jayne’s discuss how they organized a Watermelon Day in South Butler Primary School in Knoch School District. Instead of just removing unhealthy food celebrations like Pizza Parties and Donut Days, Jill & Mark help craft messages and experiences around healthy living so healthy food doesn’t seem like punishment.
