This week, our Wildcats got to try something new: BLOOD ORANGES!

As part of the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, our elementary students enjoy free fruit and vegetable snacks every Tuesday and Thursday, giving them opportunities to explore new flavors and build healthy habits!

We're excited to continue something we started last year with our Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Spotlight Activity Sheets! Each month, we'll feature a unique fruit or vegetable and share a fun activity sheet to help extend the learning beyond the classroom.

🍊 This month's spotlight is BLOOD ORANGES! We've attached an activity sheet filled with fun facts and activities to help families learn more about this colorful citrus fruit together.

Ask your Wildcats what they thought about blood oranges! Did they love them? Were they surprised by the color? Would they try them again?

We love making healthy eating an adventure that continues at home!
