Eat a Rainbow project at Jarrettsville Elementary

Jarrettsville Elementary School kicked off its Eat a Rainbow Project this week - Valentine’s Day week - with the color red! The mission of this project, under the direction of the school’s physical education teachers Tara Flottemesch and Dave Hagan, and with the assistance of Food Services employees Debbie Nelson and Derek Layser, is to increase the amount of healthy foods Jarrettsville students eat each day. Each week for the next six weeks, the school will introduce students to a color from the rainbow and represent that color with a food item or two for them to sample. This week’s red oranges (blood oranges) and red peppers were quite a hit! This project offers students an opportunity to try something new and encourages them to share their experiences with their families.
