October 5, 2012—The Whole Grains Council invites school nutrition professionals to enter the Sixth Annual Whole Grains Challenge. Participants can enter in one of two categories: “Veterans,” for those schools that had been offering a variety of whole grains even before the new meal pattern regulation, and “Rookies,” for schools that have made significant progress in boosting whole grains in school meals, but could use some additional assistance in preparing kid-friendly whole-grain options. One school will win the grand prize of a visit from a guest chef, who will conduct a workshop on preparing whole-grain kid-friendly dishes.
Five winners from each category will receive a variety of cases of whole grain-rich products.
Entries are due November 1, 2012. For more information or to enter, visit www.wholegrainscouncil.org/get-involved/2012-whole-grains-challenge.
