UC CalFresh had the pleasure of joining Mayfair Elementary parents on a tour of the Fresno Unified Nutrition Center on November 20th. The tour included nutrition education, taste testing and a tour of the food service facility.
All aboard! Parents were bused in from Mayfair Elementary for the tour. After touring the facility, they were headed to Olmos Elementary to check out food service in action!
Parents geared up in hair nets for the tour. Why hair nets? For food safety, of course!
UC CalFresh program coordinator DeAnna Molinar provided nutrition education to parents as part of the tour.
Parents got the opportunity to sample the healthy foods students get to eat at school.
Here are some of the salads prepared at the FUSD nutrition center.
These are some of the whole wheat rolls students will enjoy with their lunches.
We look forward to participating in the next field trip!
