Thank you @CarrieIsaac for taking action to establish Texas Fruit & Vegetable Day! It was an honor to host everyone for the first inaugarual holiday. We look forward to celebrating the health benefits and flavors of Texas produce for years to come! #ChildNutrition #FarmFreshTexas

[Rep. Carrie Isaac @CarrieIsaac]

Happy Fruit & Vegetable Day!

My background in health and wellness gave me such an appreciation and passion for educating others about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. When I learned about the obesity rate of our children in Texas, I knew something had to be done.

So, I filed HB 3991 to establish the first Friday in April as Texas Fruit & Vegetable day to teach our young Texans about the importance of fruits and vegetables in our diet.

It was a privilege to see this initiative come to life today at Serene Hills Elementary in collaboration with efforts by Commissioner Sid Miller and the Department of Agriculture. Thank you to the Texas International Produce Association, Bright Bites, Lake Travis ISD, Serene Hills Elementary, and of course Commissioner Miller’s team for making this an incredible inaugural Fruit & Veggie day!

We are so proud of these student leaders who initiated a meeting with our FANS department to discuss diversifying menu options in the cafeteria. We are excited to take this feedback into consideration as we plan for next year! #foodforall #leadership #schoolfood

[Vanessa Randels/Principal Rough Hollow Elementary @VanessaRandels]

These leaders are finding voice and choice in our school lunch menu!! Awesome 4th grade leaders meeting with our district FANS team to hear how we can be more diverse with our offerings!!! @ltisdschools #RoughHollowElementary

#EatLocal in your @ltisdschools campus cafeteria! When you eat in the cafeteria, you support our local vendors, including @newworldbakery @TrueharvestFarm @gpastureschickn. Thank you for nourishing our students!

[Lake Travis Cafes @LTCafes]

Did you know? To encourage fruit and vegetable intake, we allow "unlimited" fruits and vegetables with the purchase of a complete meal! #Healthy #SchoolLunch #Nokidhungry @ltisdschools

(Limit: 2 of each type of fruit or vegetable. Fries excluded.)

[Lake Travis Cafes @LTCafes]

@BCEBobcats experienced a farmer's market-style fruit & veggie taste test this week! We talked about the benefits of buying #local, including freshness! Produce loses its freshness when it travels from far away - just like we get tired on a long trip!
@GOTEXAN @ltisdschools

[Lake Travis Cafes @LTCafes]

We aim to peas our students in the LT cafe with #fruits and #veggies! @ltisdschools @BCEBobcats

[Lake Travis Cafes @LTCafes]

This year's theme is Fuel for the Future! This month we celebrate the importance of fueling our bodies & eating with sustainability in mind.

Yesterday, all students at WCHE had the opportunity to taste new fruits & veggies in a farmer's-market-style experience. Our goal is to get kids excited about fruits & veggies and inspire them to expand their palates in the LT Café! @LabattFood @principalwch @ltisdschools

Tis' the season for fruit and veggies! Our manager at LTE, Jessica, decorated her door to get everyone in the holiday spirit!

We are so grateful for Ryan Mikolaycik's dedication to LTISD and our FANS team over the past 9.5 years. His passion and leadership in our cafes will be dearly missed. As Ryan says, "It's not goodbye, it's until we meet again."
