Lemon Road Elementary hosts event celebrating potatoes

Students at Lemon Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., were treated to a Greek-inspired potato salad from the cafeteria’s new salad bar this week.

The dish was served for the school’s Celebration of Potatoes event, which took place Thursday in partnership with the National Potato Council and United Fresh Start Foundation.

At the event, kindergarteners also learned about different types of potatoes and how and where they’re grown, as well as potato nutrition facts.

The salad bar was donated by the National Potato Council and United Fresh Start as part of the national Salad Bars to Schools initiative.
