LISD elementary students from all campuses who are members of the EMAC taste tested and rated several new menu items that will be considered for next year’s school menu.
Some of the menu items that 138 students sampled included ultra-bean and chorizo burrito, blueberry muffin, breakfast pizza, pop tarts, boneless chicken chunks, nacho chips with cheese sauce, graham cracker snack, flavored popsicles, and much more.
During the year the students will assist with evaluating food items, discuss cafeteria dining issues, advocate for their peers, and help plan menus.
