Aldine ISD Child Nutrition

Calvert Elementary students were so eager to learn and get their hands dirty outside by planting and harvesting. Unfortunately due to weather conditions we had to move the planting to indoors and learned how to plant seeds and be able to take them home to start their own gardens. Then they enjoyed a lettuce wrap of their own creation with many different fruits and veggies of their choosing And with the extra time they saved they also go to make their own parfait recipes with fruits of their choosing.
Los estudiantes de Calvert Elementary estaban muy entusiasmados por aprender y ensuciarse las manos al aire libre sembrando y cosechando. Desafortunadamente, debido a las condiciones climáticas, tuvimos que trasladar la siembra al interior y aprendieron cómo plantar semillas y poder llevárselas a casa para comenzar sus propios jardines. Luego disfrutaron de una envoltura de lechuga creada por ellos mismos, con muchas frutas y verduras diferentes a su elección. Y con el tiempo extra que les sobró, también pudieron preparar sus propias recetas de parfait con las frutas que eligieron.

Today we celebrate Happy School Lunch Hero Day 2026 to the amazing individuals who show up every day with a smile, serve nutritious meals, and make sure every student feels cared for. You do so much more than prepare food—you create welcoming spaces, brighten days, and fuel young minds for success.

Thank you for your dedication, kindness, and hard work. Our schools are stronger because of you!

Tomorrow May 1st, we celebrate Happy School Lunch Hero Day!
Behind every healthy school meal is a dedicated team working hard to nourish our students’ minds and bodies. School lunch heroes do more than serve food—they create welcoming spaces, ensure nutrition standards are met, and support student success every single day.
Let’s take a moment to thank our Child Nutrition heroes for their commitment, care, and hard work.

We'll say our 'See you later' and not 'goodbye' - to someone who’s made such a lasting impact. Your leadership, integrity, and commitment to accountability have shaped us in the best ways, and you’ll be deeply missed. Thank you for everything you’ve given to Aldine and Child Nutrition Teresa — wishing you continued success and fulfillment in your next chapter. 💙

Today for our "Farm To School" program we promoted fresh Texas grown strawberries for all of our Prek and Kindergarten student.
Hoy, como parte de nuestro programa 'Del campo a la escuela', promocionamos fresas frescas cultivadas en Texas para todos nuestros estudiantes de Pre-K y Kindergarten.

Today we promoted Texas grown yellow squash to enrich the food pallet our students and diversify their taste buds to reach new and possibly unknown territory of a vegetable that is locally grown. None of this would be possible without the help of our wonderful and creative staff.
Hoy promocionamos la calabacita amarilla cultivada en Texas para diversificar los gustos de nuestros estudiantes con una verdura posiblemente desconocida que está cultivada localmente. Nada de esto sería posible sin la ayuda de nuestro maravilloso y creativo personal.

Hats off to libraries 🎩📚. We joined in some team building activities and wrapped up the week with lots of fun!
Celebrating and the power of stories, knowledge, and discovery.
