More pictures from the Culinary Classroom Blitz at Shawsheen Elementary School. We had so much fun with the students and staff!

Students at Shawsheen Elementary School participated in the first ever "Culinary Classroom Blitz" in D6 history this month!

Over the first two weeks of May, every class at Shawsheen had the opportunity to participate in a Culinary Classroom lesson combining nutrition education with hands-on cooking skills. Greeley-Evans District 6 Nutrition Services staff led classes in a lesson exploring how eating all of the different food groups keeps us healthy. Students then got to practice their cooking skills by preparing their own strawberry-banana yogurt parfaits to try.

During this special event, a total of 21 classes were held, reaching 441 students!

A huge thank you goes out to D6 Nutrition Education Specialist Johanna Bishop and Shawsheen Student Wellness Team Leader and Music Teacher Emily Small for their amazing work in planning this event! Thank you as well to all other staff who helped make this a success.
