While healthy eating can be a challenge for kids and parents, elementary school students in the School District of Oconee County will use their creativity and culinary skills to make healthy Asian-Inspired recipes in the 2018 "Sodexo Future Chefs Challenge." The national initiative, now in its eighth, year was created to get students thinking about making healthy food choices while also encouraging them to be active and creative in the kitchen. Over 100 elementary school students submitted healthy Asian-Inspired recipes and the ten best (one from each elementary school) were selected to participate in the district-wide finals event. Finalists will prepare and present their creations before being assessed on criteria including originality, taste, kid friendliness and use of healthy ingredients. Details are below: WHEN: Thursday, March 15th, 2018 WHERE: Blue Ridge Elementary School TIME: Registration begins at 3:30 pm and the competition begins at 4:30 pm; Awards at 6:15 pm CONTACT: Scott Hood, 864-784-5053, scotthood@g.oconee.k12.sc.us |
