“Food is Elementary was a fantastic educational addition to our classroom, as well as an important and interesting supplement to our curriculum. The kids in my classroom really looked forward to the lessons every week, and they thoroughly enjoyed being exposed to foods that they hadn’t seen or tried before. Education should always be about discovery, and the Food is Elementary program fits this philosophy perfectly.”
– Spencer Hill, 3rd grade teacher
