INDIANAPOLIS — Children at Brookside Elementary spent their Thursday afternoon showing off their own recipes to a panel of judges as part of the Common Threads interactive culinary program.
Common Threads teaches kids how to make healthy meals and snacks. They give them full-on culinary lessons."Our school specifically is just over 500 students and we run 73% direct admit for free and reduced lunch, which is pretty high,” Baugh said. “About 90% when you talk about reduced lunch rates as well.”Blue Cross Blue Shield and IHeartMedia helped bring the program to the near east side school. 54 students and families took part in the program.
The school says since implementing this program, they've seen a difference in their students, especially since the recipes they learn how to make use items out of the school's food pantry. Brookside Elementary is the only school in Indiana taking part in the Common Threads program as of now.
