  • #MealoftheMonth Photo Contest Winner - Summer 2019!

    #MealoftheMonth

    Congratulations to Cobden Elementary School for winning our SUMMER Meal of the Month contest!

    Think no one is noticing your hard work? Think again! Extension Program Coordinator Lindsey Sadler tipped us off to Cobden Elementary's Facebook page, which was full of photos from their active summer food service program.

    Each pictured meal was colorful, included fresh fruits and vegetables, and entrees weren't just limited to standard sandwiches. This summer they served heartwarming favorites like lasagna, turkey pot pie, and meatloaf (pictured above).

    Even better, they did a great job communicating with the community about the day's lunch, including appealing pictures and descriptions. Likes and shares were in plentiful supply on their Facebook page!

    Thank you again for your dedication to child nutrition and we hope you enjoy your prize!
