This Month in Discovery Kitchen

January is the Great American Roadtrip month in the cafes where we’ll be engaging students with fresh recipes, delicious demos, and fun and informative nutrition education. The Great American Roadtrip allows students to experience this great country through the power of food! We will take your students on journey through the quadrants of the U.S., where they will learn about local favorites of each region and, about the geography that allow these regions to produce certain foods for the entire country.

In January, chefs and dietitians will organize Discovery Kitchen experiences in the cafeteria with interactive ways to spark students’curiosity about agriculture and cuisines around the country.

On January 17th Norwood Elementary students will be able to sample Chili Lime Corn On The Cob.

January 1: Happy New Year

New Year’s Day is a holiday that is observed on the first day of January on the Gregorian calendar – which is January 1st. For many people, it is seen as the end of the holiday season and it is also a day in which many people start their New Year resolutions.

wholesome snack than by dedicating an entire day to it?! Join us in the cafeteria to celebrate National Popcorn Day
