Schools across the state are celebrating Colorado Proud School Meal Day Tuesday, Oct. 1. Colorado ranches, farms and gardens are in the spotlight and on the menu at over 300 schools, serving around 170,000 students. It’s a day to educate students on where their food comes from, by serving locally grown and sourced produce, grains and animal proteins. Denver Public Schools is participating and Denver7 got a chance to visit Ashley Elementary School as the kitchen staff prepared for lunch.
Long is also grateful for the educational opportunity that a day like this provides. She is a mom of two and said, “When I go walking through the grocery store with them, often times, even as a dietician, my children don’t realize the apple in the store comes from a tree.”At Ashley Elementary, students can tend to a community school garden, planting and harvesting the fruits of their labor throughout the season.
