🍎 Student Voice in Action! 🍎
Our students visited Donna North High School for the Child Nutrition Program’s Annual Food Expo.
During the visit, students had the opportunity to sample different food options and take part in the selection process for next year’s school menu. Their feedback will help shape the meals that will be served across the district!
It was a great experience that allowed students to share their opinions and play an important role in decisions that impact their school community.
