Happy New Year! I hope this email finds you well as we kick off 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As promised, I am reaching out regarding Pomptonian\u2019s 6th<\/sup> Annual Healthy School Lunch Challenge, an initiative designed to treat the cafeteria as an extension of the classroom while celebrating National Nutrition Month. It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to get students involved in the kitchen and excited about creating healthy meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are key details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022   Students are invited to submit a healthy recipe by February 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022   Submissions will be divided into three categories: Pre-K through 5th<\/sup> grade, 6th<\/sup> through 8th<\/sup> grades, and 9th<\/sup> through 12th<\/sup> grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022   For each category, we\u2019ll select two Grand Prize Winners and one Super Grand Prize Winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022   The top three high school contestants will compete in a cooking challenge at Driscoll Foods in their professional kitchen on March 7th<\/sup> from 8:30AM-2:30PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We created a short video detailing the competition: 6th<\/sup> Annual Healthy School Lunch Challenge<\/a>. Additionally, attached to this email are flyers with all of the details of the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love for you to check out last year\u2019s High School Lunch Challenge Cook-Off<\/a> video and take a look back at one of our Super Grand Prize Winners: Healthy School Lunch Challenge Winner: Antonella Marinelli<\/a>. If there is a culinary program in your district, we would love for you to forward this information to the teacher or advisor in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me know if you have any questions or need further details, I\u2019d be happy to assist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
