Deer Park School

In an effort to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables Deer Park School K-5th grade students participate in a Fresh Fruit & Vegetable program. This program helps us provide fresh fruits and veggies to the students 3 days a week. The students receive this small snack on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. It is not part of the lunch program and is served to the students in the afternoon after their specials. Along with the snack is a small bit of info about the day's fruit or vegetable. Sometimes the information is about it's nutritional value and other times it is a fun fact about how the plant grows or where it originates. I hope the students share their thoughts with you about trying new foods, and if they don't, please be sure and ask them about their snack for the day.
