Harmony House Fifth Graders you have just been hired as the new nutritionists for Mallets Bay School.

Congratulations!

Your job now is to create healthy and delicious lunch options for the students at the school. Remember to include options from each part of the pyramid.

Once you have created the NEW lunch options you will have to present them to the school community. You will have to explain why you chose the foods you did. What makes this lunch healthy and delicious? Why will the students like this new food option? Relate the food choices to the pyramid. When you have finished writing your proposal to the community, draw your lunch on the paper plates.

Make them as appetizing as you can, you want people to find this food appealing!

GOOD LUCK!
