Press release from the Urbandale Community School District: March 31, 2022 UCSD Nutrition Services celebrated National School Breakfast Week and Read Across America February 28 – March 4. Students who ate school breakfast were entered into a raffle with every meal counting as a ticket! Each elementary school was given three prize bundles for students to win. One of the prizes was a cookbook based on the story of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Congratulations to these lucky winners; we hope they'll have a blast creating these fun recipes! Our weeklong celebration didn't end there! On March 1 and March 3, we hosted special book-themed lunches. First, we featured Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and served baked noodles and meatballs. Students and staff from Adventuretime created amazing artwork to transform the cafeterias into cloudy food storms! Two days later, Adventuretime students and staff created wonderful artwork full of dragons and tacos for our Dragons Love Tacos themed menu! To celebrate, students were served hard shell tacos, just like those enjoyed by the dragons from the book. Lastly, to wrap up our huge celebration of both food and books, the Nutrition Department donated a copy of I Can Eat A Rainbow by Olena Rose to every elementary school library.
