🌟🥕 Texas Fruit & Vegetable Day 🥬🍎

Today we’re celebrating the fresh flavors of Texas! Our middle school students enjoyed a delicious meal featuring locally grown Texas cabbage served as fresh coleslaw. A crunchy, nutritious way to highlight what our local farmers provide.

From crisp apple slices to garden-fresh veggies, we love bringing fresh options to our cafeterias.

Supporting local agriculture means fresher food, stronger communities, and healthier students! 🌱
