The Sanborn Central cafeteria staff held a party for elementary students, during which they talked about the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Students were able to inspect and taste some different fruits and vegetables that they possibly had never experienced before, including artichokes, coconuts, and guava.

The USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program makes fresh fruit and vegetable snacks available at no cost to all children in participating schools. The goal of the program is to create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices, expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption, and make a difference in children’s diets to affect their present and future health.
