A passionate local food advocate who also happens to be the food service director at East Jordan public schools is upping the health factor of cafeteria lunches (with some help from the 10 Cents a Meal funding program!).
East Jordan Incorporates Local Produce into Cafeteria and Curriculum
Elementary School, K-6, and preschool students at East Jordan Public Schools are eating more local farm-fresh fruits and vegetables thanks to “Try Days” which the Charlevoix County school is holding early each month. In order to connect nutrition with classroom learning, students also watch a series of videos featuring one-minute health tips, and vote whether they “tried it”, “liked it” or “loved it”.
