A school menu that features culturally relevant meals accomplishes two things: 1) cultural and religious foodways are met, and 2) the school community is exposed to an exciting diversity of foods and flavors. As the school-age population becomes increasingly food-savvy, culturally inclusive meals are a win-win. During this webinar (part two of a two-part series), we will be joined by leaders from school districts in Michigan, California, and Washington state, who will provide examples of identifying and implementing culturally inclusive meals in schools.
