Mrs. Preston is cooking up something new in the kitchen!
It is green, crunchy and full of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for good vision, a healthy immune system and cell growth. Vitamin A plays a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organs.(1)
The students had the opportunity to try these after the special showing of a movie this morning. They would make a great addition to having popcorn while watching a movie at home with family or as a snack after school. And they are easy to make and good for you! These will be served as part of the lunch menu on Friday, January 24, 2014.
Thanks to all of you who tried this new food. And thank you Mrs. Preston for the great, crunchy treats!
