Irene Lopez students in the CNS Junior Chef program have been learning how to prepare appetizers, entrees and desserts from basic ingredients through plating for table service. The after-school club teaches cooking as a life skill to practice healthy eating habits.
Recently, Child Nutrition and Student Wellness teamed up with locally owned It's Juicy juice bar for an awesome after-school healthy eating experience! The students created personal smoothies, learned how different nutrients fuel the brain and support learning, and brought home their concoctions and a fresh bag of frozen fruits!
We’re thankful to It's Juicy’s owner, Julian, who is a former student at Julian and King schools, for returning to her roots to teach students the art of making delicious smoothies.
