Help decide new foods for school menus at March 15 tasting

Here’s a chance March 15 to weigh in on new entrées, side dishes, and other food products and recipes your child may be offered for breakfast and lunch next school year. NOTE NEW DATE!

The PWCS Annual Food Show will be held at Patriot High School on Tuesday, March 15. The tastings are open to the first 1,000 county students, parents, and staff to sign up in advance. There will be two tastings, one from 6–7 p.m. and a second from 7–8 p.m.

Originally scheduled for March 1 and listed in the “2015-16 Elementary and Middle School Guide and Calendar,” this event was rescheduled so as not to conflict with the Presidential Primary.

New this year, Food Play Productions will perform two shows that evening in the Patriot High School auditorium, at 6:45 pm and 7:45 pm, for elementary students and their families. Food Play is a live assembly that gets kids excited about healthy eating and active living.

Reservations are required and may be made by calling the Office of School Food and Nutrition Services at 703.791.7314.
