White Sulphur Springs School District got to taste test some goodies last week!

Nacho day has never looked so colorful! 🌮🥗

We had the opportunity to join lunchtime at Monforton School and see their amazing salad bar filled with different fruits, veggies, proteins and legumes for children to add to their lunch trays.

It was amazing to see the power of choice with so many nutrient dense options for meals 🍽️ Monforton is proving that fun meals and healthy choices can go hand in hand! 🍎
