The Fruit and Vegetables Program is Here

El Programa de Frutas y Vegetales ha llegado

And the winners are...


The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program started on September 16 at Huff School. The theme for September was “Put a Rainbow on your Plate”. Fruit choices included: watermelon, strawberries, oranges, cantaloupe, pineapple, bananas, red and green grapes, and plums. Fruit break was provided on Tuesdays through Fridays. The winners of the “Pick Me” poster contest were: preschool student Tochel Ayala’s “Corn”, 3^rd grader Maria Brito’s “Apple”, 3^rd grader Arturo Nunez’ “Sparkling Fruit”, and 4^th grader Hailey Soto’s “Go Veggies”. Each winner received a gift certificate to Elgin Fresh Market. Honorable Mention was also awarded to: Ileene Gomez (preschool), Christopher Penaloza (1^st grade), Guadalupe Sandoval (5^th grade), and Victoria Valadez (6^th grade). In October, fresh vegetables will be added to the FFVP menu. Students will be encouraged to overcome the “Vegetable Fear Factor” and try fresh vegetables. Tuesdays through Fridays will continue to be the days when fresh fruits and vegetables are available. Thank you, Mrs DeHaan, school nurse, thank you, lunch moms!
