TRY IT TUESDAY
at Carver Elementary School

We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our Try it Tuesday event again this year in the cafeteria where we will be offering samples of fruits, vegetables or seafood. This year our goal is to introduce more varieties of seafood, plant based and culturally responsive foods.

This month’s Try it Tuesday will be held on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. As we look to create recipes with more plant based items, I am excited to introduce Kelp meatballs to our students. Chef Andrew from North Coast Seafoods will be visiting us to talk to the students about the health benefits of kelp meatballs. Encourage your student to try our kelp meatballs at our Try it Tuesday table in the cafeteria and help us move towards greater food acceptance skills.

I have attached a link to a documentary of Meet the Kelp Farmers at Atlantic Sea Farms. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbTYbXN9qIc
