The guest chef educated Eldon Elementary’s students about the importance of fruits and vegetables in their diet. They also demonstrated how to make delicious (and nutritious) homemade sweet potato fries. Other guest speakers gave presentations on “eating the rainbow” and the benefits of eating a variety of colors of fruits and veggies.
Eldon Elementary stocked the salad bar with a rotating supply of fruits and vegetables that many students had never tasted, or even seen before: star fruit, coconut, bean sprouts, plums, pears, avocado, and more. School staff encouraged students to create a colorful plate and to try new things.
