School Nutrition Bites: A nibble of nutrition knowledge from the food service team
A small bite of knowledge can lead to a lifetime of healthy choices!! In this month's edition of School Nutrition Bites we are sharing information on tomatoes and why they are an important part of supporting healthy, growing students. Let's help our students grow and thrive one bite at a time!

TOMATOES

Tomatoes come in many varieties, including cherry, grape, beefsteak, plum, slicing, and pear. Tomatoes are most commonly seen in shades of red, but orange, yellow, green, pink, and purple varieties exist too!

Health benefits: Tomatoes provide key nutrients to our bodies. Potassium that helps maintain a healthy blood pressure and Vitamin C that helps heal wounds and is important for our immune systems!

Tomatoes are technically fruits since they contain the plant's seeds. However, in 1893 the United States Supreme Court ruled the tomato is a vegetable.

Add tomatoes to your favorite family meals!

There’s nothing quite like Friday night lights and a crosstown rivalry!

Last night had it all—big plays, loud crowds, fierce competition and plenty of pride on both sides of the field.

Nearly 70 KUSD girls took the field Wednesday for their first-ever flag football games as part of the Donald Driver-Driven NFL FLAG Football League!

Kenosha Bradford High School, Indian Trail High School and Academy and Tremper High School each fielded a team, allowing students to compete, build confidence, learn the game and grow as teammates and leaders.

This new opportunity is about more than football. It’s about creating a safe, empowering space where girls of all skill levels can compete, challenge themselves and discover what they’re capable of.

Check out the schedule at https://bit.ly/4ypaVah and join us for an upcoming game!
