We had an amazing time with the students at Camp Odyssey learning about two important topics—where our food comes from and the importance of staying hydrated!

Our School Nutrition Director, Chynna Silvernale and Nutrition Bookkeeper, Maurie Tarpley kicked things off by explaining the journey food takes before it reaches our students’ trays. We talked about how our meals are made possible through partnerships with local farmers, produce grown by students right here in our district, trusted food distributors, and USDA Foods.

Next, we explored the importance of hydration and learned that many fruits naturally contain sugars and electrolytes that help keep our bodies fueled and refreshed. To wrap up the lesson, students sampled several flavors of our homemade “Natural Gatorade” and voted for their favorite.

🏆 Based on the smiles and empty cups, Pineapple Mint was the clear winner!

Thank you, Camp Odyssey, for allowing us to share the importance of healthy eating, hydration, and supporting the many people who help bring nutritious meals to our schools!

This week, we had the exciting opportunity to partner with Georgia Peanuts for a delicious taste-testing event featuring creative recipes that showcased the versatility of peanuts!

Our Brooks County Middle School students sampled:
🥜 Peanut-Glazed Pork Chop with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
🥜 Indonesian Beef with Chili Peanut Sauce
🥜 Peanut Twist Sausage Fried Rice
🥜 Peanut Energy Balls
🥜 PB&J Yogurt Parfait

We love partnering with Georgia industries to introduce students to nutritious, affordable, and flavorful protein options while highlighting locally grown products.

A special thank you to the Georgia Peanut Marketing team and Chef Josh from Georgia Grown for spending the day with us and sharing your passion for agriculture, nutrition, and great food. We appreciate your partnership and can’t wait for the next opportunity!
