Wellness Committee
Try It Tuesday was a success!  We started the year off with a challenging vegetable (beets) and the students showed that they were up to the task. Most exciting was that 65% of our student population participated!  And as a bonus, 53% of our students voted 'thumbs up'!  We offered beets 2 ways, cooked and cubed (easily offered via Costco organic fresh beets) and as beet chips ( recipe attached). The message being that vegetables can be prepared and offered in many ways. Trying a variety of preparations can help increase acceptance.
