A program you may not know much about in District 6: Culinary Classroom!

Culinary Classroom is a program designed to introduce culinary skills, nutrition education, and healthy eating habits to our K-8 students! Our Greeley-Evans District 6 Nutrition Services staff give our students the knowledge and tools to make healthy food choices and be independent in the kitchen. Students learn how to identify food groups and enjoy hands-on time creating healthy snacks and breakfasts.

In May, we joined Shawsheen Elementary School 2nd graders students during Culinary Classroom. We learned how to make a delicious yogurt parfait with strawberries, bananas, vanilla yogurt, and granola! Students were excited to learn how to properly hold and use kid-friendly knives to slice their fruit. And, of course, students were super excited to eat their delicious and nutritious snack packed with dairy, protein, carbohydrates, and fruit!
