GCISD celebrates Superfoodie Thursday
Elementary and Middle schools kicked off Superfoodie Thursdays on September 15. On these days, students are encouraged to try the featured superfood provided by the school’s cafeteria team each month. This month’s superfood is the blueberry, and has been offered through special menu items, such as blueberry parfaits, blueberry crisp and blueberry with whipped topping.
“Students will have the opportunity to taste a variety of superfoods throughout the year that they may not try otherwise,” said Laura E. Brookover-Ybarra, dietitian for nutrition services. “Our aim is to teach the students of GCISD about the impact that making healthy choices can have on their health and wellness for a lifetime.”
