A good book can take students on an adventure—even inside a refrigerator! 📚🍎
Over the past few weeks, G-PISD Dietitian Jubi Torres has been visiting campuses and reading “The Girls Who Lived in the Refrigerator” by David Grotto to students! Ms. Torres has enjoyed sharing this story with students at East Cliff Elementary, the Early Childhood Center, W.C. Andrews Elementary, and S.F. Austin Elementary. She will continue her campus visits at T.M. Clark Elementary during the week of October 26!
From Pre-K listeners to 3rd-grade audiences, these story time visits bring food and learning together while connecting students with the district’s Food & Nutrition Services team.
The nutrition adventure continues beyond the cafeteria, one story at a time! ❤️
