EJ Elementary School News

It's November and our Harvest of the Month is Winter Squash! A fitting food for Native American Heritage Month! Next week your students will have the chance to try spaghetti squash roasted with parmesan in their classrooms. Classroom Try Days are designed to help build more nourishing and positive experiences with food and trying new things. Our wonderful cafeteria team will highlight that food in different ways on the cafeteria menu throughout the month!

Encourage your students to try new things and ask them about Try-Day! Below you can find our schedule, resources to help your students try new foods at home, information about Winter Squash, and recipes to try for yourself!

• Monday, November 11: Kindergarten, 1st, CharEm
