Fine Dining

This program gives students the opportunity to learn etiquette manners for a formal place setting. The students get to practice what they have been taught in an interactive four-course fine dining meal offered by the Child Nutrition Catering and Nutrition Educator teams. The four-course meal consists of a salad, soup, entrée, and dessert.

Elementary Program

Display Tasting

Seasonal Display Tasting gives students the opportunity to learn about and taste various seasonal produce. The Child Nutrition Catering and Nutrition Educator teams come to a junior high or high school site during the fall and spring. A cooking/prepping demonstration is given about the recipe prepared, with recipe cards available for the students. The students will have the option to sample the prepared recipe from the display tasting station.

Picnics

The Child Nutrition Catering team comes to elementary and/or secondary sites and cook up hamburgers or hotdogs on TPS's very own smoker trailer for a sack lunch style meal for the students. The students pick up their sack lunches, and head outside to enjoy music and sun.
