Successes
- Introducing new foods to kids who always bring their own lunch was a huge success of these events. Those students initially thought they couldn’t taste the fruits and vegetables because they weren’t eating the school lunch, but once they found out they could, more students tasted and enjoyed the samples.
- School staff wore bright rainbow colors and talked to students as they handed out samples.
Challenges
- Lunchroom staff had limited time.
- It was challenging to get the high schoolers to try new foods.
