Pride Elementary students got a taste of asparagus on Thursday as part of the new Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The goal of the program is to introduce children to new varieties of fresh fruit and vegetables. Reactions varied from “It tastes a little bad” and “It was good, but I’m not a big fan,” to “I ate the whole bag.”
The first two weeks of the program, students got to try mango and kiwi. So far, mango has been their favorite. Students also learn about the fruits and veggies through co-curricular activities. The federally assisted Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program is funded through a grant. #TeamHopkins
