Tucson Unified School District refreshes menus, asks students to taste test new offerings.
Genesis Lara As students from Sahuaro High School began flooding into the school cafeteria for lunchtime, the district's food services team offered samples of new recipes they were testing.
The efforts this year also included changing the way the food is presented, such as switching from the typical white foam plates to black plates and bowls that resemble the more modern takeout containers at restaurants. And aside from testing out the new chow mein and dumplings recipes, some students at Sahuaro High also stood in line at the Chicken n’ More Chicken food station.
Kalia Davis, 17, and Sanaa Comer, 16, both juniors at Sahuaro, said they’re not huge fans of school food in general. While Comer avoids eating school food altogether by bringing her mother’s home-cooked meals everyday for lunch, Davis only sticks to one item on her school’s menu.
