EAST HAMPTON, NY — Just in time for back to school season, a group gathered Saturday to discuss ways to keep kids healthy.

The Wellness Foundation hosted a Summer Luncheon at Devon Yacht Club Friday in Amagansett to discuss "Healthy Schools for Healthy Kids."

The program, presented by Wellness Foundation CEO and President Michele Sacconaghi, brought in a panel of experts to help illuminate the challenges that schools face around healthy school food choices, toxic chemical exposure, and how to collaborate with schools to make them role models of wellness for our kids.

Guest speakers were school food activist and blogger Bettina Elias Siegel of "The Lunch Tray" and "Helping to Heal" author and child safety expert Patricia, or Patti, Wood. The event was moderated by Melissa Russo of NBC News.
