While healthy eating can be a challenge for kids and parents, elementary school students in the WW-P School District will use their creativity and culinary skills to make healthy breakfast recipes in Sodexo’s 2016 Future Chefs Challenge.
More than 100 elementary school students submitted healthy breakfast recipes, and six were selected to participate in the district-wide finals event. Finalists will prepare and present their creations before being assessed on criteria including originality, taste, ease of presentation, kid friendliness, and use of healthy ingredients. The event takes place Tuesday, March 15, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Village School, 601 New Village Road, West Windsor.
The national initiative, which is in its sixth year, was created to get students thinking about making healthy food choices while also encouraging them to get active and creative in the kitchen. WW-P students are joining nearly 2,500 other students representing almost 1,300 Sodexo-served school sites in 28 states nationally in this fun and educational challenge.
WW-P joins 229 other school districts across the country holding Future Chefs events throughout February and March. The winning student from each participating district will be considered for regional finalist awards, and the selected regional finalists will vie to become one of five national finalists competing for the public’s vote on SodexoUSA.com.
