CONGRATULATIONS CLEVELAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT CLEVELAND, TX!
“HydroTribe is a school-based initiative that brings hydroponic farming into classrooms and cafeterias to connect learning with healthy eating. Through compact Flex Farms, students grow fresh produce while exploring STEM, sustainability, and nutrition concepts aligned with TEKS. The harvest is incorporated into school meals, giving students a full seed-to-plate experience. Fully funded and designed for scalability, HydroTribe prepares CTE students with career ready skills, fosters environmental responsibility, and builds a united community of learners, educators, and nutrition professionals.”

“JCPS utilizes social media, qr codes, food taste testing events, has a food truck, uses local products as possible and available, a central kitchen, tray of the week contests, executive chef, our own signature sauces, muffins, and other house-made recipes! We also create our own yearly marketing calendar that goes out to all school managers and leads to utilize during the year. We do a large taste testing event once a year with students and parents for the entire district (147 schools), as well as host other smaller taste testing events called SNAC- Student nutrition Activity Committee. Schools participate in contests and themed events. WE also created our own logo for cafeterias in our district called 502 Food Works (our area code is 502) and named our food truck LOU CHEW (louisville).”
