Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant for 2022-2023
Transylvania County Schools has again been awarded a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant for all four elementary schools. The grant will provide opportunities for students to experience, at no cost, nutritious and delicious fresh fruit and vegetable snacks throughout the 2022-2023 school year. The program will create a healthier school environment and help students learn that healthy choices taste good, too. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program will begin on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. School cafeterias will provide a fresh fruit or vegetable as an afternoon snack to all elementary school students weekly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Teachers are encouraged to model good eating behaviors by eating the snacks along with their students. The USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant program is available to qualifying NC elementary schools upon application. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable menu for September is attached.
