PTAs can support healthy eating by hosting family tasting nights. Family tasting nights allow an opportunity for PTAs to partner with their school nutrition services team to provide a healthy meal for families.
Schedule a date on your school calendar for the Family Tasting Night and start engaging your school community in discussions around the importance of healthy eating. Create a planning committee and reach out to your school administrators, teachers and families. Recruit volunteers, coordinate logistics and schedule deadlines. Reach out to your school chef, food service personnel and food supplier(s) as well as other community organizations.
Utilize as many platforms as possible for promoting your event. And don't forget to translate documents into languages your school community speaks.
Ensure that everything goes smoothly at your Tasting Night! Follow the checklist below to be sure the event runs smoothly and keeps families engaged.
