Let's Take a Taste

Impact

  • 94% of the students tried the sweet potatoes.
  • 68% said they would try them again.
  • 65% said they would ask for them at home.

Making a Difference...

  • One teacher reported that a student brought sweet potato sticks for a snack the next day.
  • When students were asked three months later if they had told their parents about the tasting, the majority in most classrooms had.
  • Some students reported their parents had made the sweet potato fries at home.
  • One group of students wanted to include sweet potatoes on the menu for their classroom party.

This years Let's Take a Taste was a huge success. Children are still talking about the day when Let's Eat Healthy brought in a crunchy and delicious snack to their school.
