Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

We are pleased to announce the return of our FRESH FRUIT AND VEGGIE PROGRAM for the 2025-2026 school year. This is a federal grant our school has applied and been approved for to increase our children's knowledge of fruits and veggies from around the world. Chef Jacob Waffarn and Taylor Barrera will be the coordinators for this program this year!

 

 

Not only does this program provide a fresh veggie or fruit every Tuesday and Thursday for the children to taste but also some information about the daily choice. Sometimes even a puzzle or coloring sheet with information and activities surrounding the  veggie or fruit.

 

 

We do our best  to keep the fruit or veggie as close to it's original state as we can.  We do offer a cooked vegetable every now and then. As for dressings or dips, we avoid those.  We want the kiddos to see and taste exactly what is offered.   We also include a 'whole' piece of whatever is being served that day. If it is honeydew melon, we will provide a whole or half melon for the children to explore with their eyes and hands.

 

 

 

Ask your child about the  Fresh Fruit of Veggie Choice and see what interesting things they have to say!
