At Meadowridge, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our catering partner, SAGE Dining, is a key contributor to this philosophy, providing nutritious meals and enriching educational experiences that align with our school’s values. Through their "Educational Seasonings" initiative, SAGE introduces students to the science, history, and benefits of various foods, making mealtime an opportunity for discovery.
In SAGE Dining's latest display, students explored the world of tomatoes, one of nature's most nutritious superfoods. They learned about the different varieties, including vine tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, hot house, and plum tomatoes, and gained insights into their unique nutritional profiles. The interactive display allowed students to taste the tomatoes and discover new ways to enjoy this versatile fruit.
SAGE took it further by integrating these tomatoes into their menu, with tomato-based salads available as grab-and-go options. This allowed students to experiment with new flavours and recipes while understanding the value of healthy eating.
SAGE Dining is committed to continuing these educational initiatives throughout the school year, offering students monthly opportunities to engage with healthy foods. Through these experiences, students broaden their nutrition knowledge and develop lifelong healthy habits.
