Baker Elementary students read, join ‘Two-Bite Club’

Wayland Union Schools Food Service Director Sarah Parr and Katherine Borovsky spent Thursday afternoon in a Baker Elementary classroom. They read “The Two-Bite Club” — a book that encourages children to taste at least two bites of new foods.  Afterward, they made fruit smoothies and talked about the nutritional benefits of adding different fruits and veggies. Students tried a strawberry/peach smoothie and then sampled a piece of raw spinach. After adding spinach to the strawberry/peach smoothie, the students were impressed that the “green” smoothie still tasted yummy.  At the end of the day, each student took home her very own copy of “The Two-Bite Club” and a chef hat.
