“Just Taste It Tuesdays” are offered once a
month in elementary, middle school and high school cafeterias. On each of these
special days, students will be introduced to a seasonal vegetable such as
squash and sweet potatoes.
This is one of the new cafeteria initiatives
under way this school year in Mesquite. Our menus feature a heartier and wider
variety of vegetables and fresh fruit in response to new government guidelines
that shift focus from the main course.
During November’s Good Nutrition Month and
throughout the school year, keep in mind that good nutrition fuels kids with
energy for school and the extra-curricular activities so important to their
full development. Let’s also remember to support the
healthy taste-testing programs under way on every campus.
