La Joya ISD Child Nutrition Services recently held a Food Exposition at the CNS building, giving students the chance to sample a variety of food items and provide valuable feedback on potential menu options. The event, organized by the district’s Nutrition Services team, highlights the importance of student involvement in shaping the meals served in schools.
Students played a key role in the decision-making process, tasting new menu offerings and sharing their preferences. The goal of the Food Expo is to ensure the meals provided by La Joya ISD are not only nutritious and high-quality but also appealing and tasty to students.
“With events like this, we’re not just serving meals; we’re fostering a sense of ownership and collaboration,” said Rolando Hernandez, La Joya ISD Child Nutrition Services Director. “Hearing directly from our students ensures we’re meeting their needs while promoting healthy habits.”
As part of its commitment to health and wellness, La Joya ISD Child Nutrition Services continuously seeks innovative ways to engage students and encourage informed food choices. By involving them in menu planning, the district is creating an educational experience that emphasizes the value of balanced diets and the impact of nutritious eating on overall well-being.
The Food Exposition exemplifies La Joya ISD’s dedication to providing meals that fuel academic success and support the health of its students, faculty, and staff.
