This morning, students participated in our monthly APPLE Schools Taste Test. This month, students enjoyed oatmeal with toppings including honey, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries.

The goal of our taste tests is to expose students to new, healthy foods, or new ways of preparing previously enjoyed foods.

Thank you to Ms. Jen, our APPLE Schools School Health Coordinator, for organizing and preparing the food for our students to enjoy!
