The Plainville Community Schools Food and Nutrition Services team at Linden Street School hosted a special event on October 9th in recognition of CT Grown for CT Kids Week. CT Grown for CT Kids Week is an annual event happening every October in Connecticut. This week aims to celebrate and support local agriculture, public education and our community commitment to the importance of healthy nutritious meals in schools. The event highlighted the Plainville Community Schools' Food and Nutrition Services Department's commitment to incorporating fresh, local produce and products into school meals and featured the newly remodeled Linden Street School cafeteria promoting health and wellness, a local "Harvest of the Month" taste test, supported by a recently awarded CTGFCTK microgrant, and the opportunity to see Linden students act as "chefs-in-training" as they prepared the "Harvest of the Month" item and served it to fellow students and guests. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the taste test featured Alhambra Elote (Mexican Street Corn) which will be on the menu in all Plainville schools this year.
