LEA Name: Avonworth School District
Where Promising Practice was Implemented
Implemented at a school.
Objectives
Increase student/parent awareness of the Pennsylvania Harvest of the Month program.
Description
Several methods were used to encourage students (and parents) to recognize and learn about the Pennsylvania Harvest of the Month program's calendar items. These methods included posting educational signs, recipes, and information in the cafeteria and on the serving lines as well as on the menu, in social media posts, and on the Avonworth School District website.
Advice
Getting the cafeteria staff to buy in to the program can be really beneficial. They can provide a wealth of ideas in supporting your goals. They love to "chit chat" with the students and can really promote your program and spread the word!
Signs of Success
Melissa and her staff received positive feedback from students, teachers and parents who shared additional fun facts about the items, complimented some of the recipes that were used, and praised the efforts of the cafeteria staff to take on a new project during the COVID-19 turbulent school year.
