|---|---|
|
Engage your cafeteria as an extension of the classroom: Tips, advice and examples of how to work with your Food Service Director to reinforce lessons from your classroom.
There is value in collaborating with your school nutrition program to improve menu choices, meal sales and ultimately the number of students making healthy choices in the school cafeteria and maybe at home as well. Work with your FS Director to coordinate your classroom lessons to generate excitement and help kids put their knowledge into action in the lunch line.
