The LISD Child Nutrition Department held the first Elementary Menu Advisory Committee (EMAC) Meeting this week at the Sanchez/Ochoa Elementary School Cafeteria. LISD elementary students from all campuses who are members of the EMAC taste tested and rated several new menu items that will be considered for next year’s school menu.
Some of the menu items that 138 students sampled included ultra-bean and chorizo burrito, blueberry muffin, breakfast pizza, pop tarts, boneless chicken chunks, nacho chips with cheese sauce, graham cracker snack, flavored popsicles, and much more.
During the year the students will assist with evaluating food items, discuss cafeteria dining issues, advocate for their peers, and help plan menus. Earlier this month LISD secondary students participated in the Secondary Menu Advisory Committee (SMAC) Meeting at the Trevino Magnet School cafeteria.
