Salad Bar Initiative in full swing!

It's January and it's time to get tough! At Sociedad, we're working hard on getting a salad bar in every BPS cafeteria. Here's why we think it's important:

• salad bars give students options for our unique sense of taste
• more fruits and veggies in our lunches mean healthier students!
• cultural food items we love, like beans and different fruits, can easily be incorporated into salad bars
• local foods we love (even ones from a school garden!) can also be used in salad bars

We're working on contacting cafeteria managers, staff and students in the BPS district, as well as meeting with Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) head honchos Shamil Mohammed and Michael Peck, to make this happen. 


This week, we are meeting with Urban Science, South Boston Complex (Green Academy + Excel) and Madison Park Schools to see if we can spark some magic! We'll also be talking to Burke later on in the month.


We can't do it without your support! Fill out our poll and send us an email with your story or comment about school lunch. Student voices make an impact!
