Students at Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School had the opportunity to taste spinach salad topped with almonds, crasins and ranch or raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Spinach is the Family Nutrition Program’s food of the month for November. Wendy Wolford, Program Assistant and Barbara Wolfe, Health Educator for WVUES provided the students with a taste of spinach and a bit of encouragement to try a new food.
The campaign is to encourage children and families to eat healthy and to eat locally grown foods when possible.
