Broccoli Ambassadors - Cynthia and Nancy - Maxwell Elementary

Cynthia and Nancy are Broccoli Ambassadors.  Cynthia dressed up.  Guess what Cynthia is?  (Tell us in the “Comment” section below.)

Cynthia and Nancy went to different classes and explained that Friday, school lunch will feature broccoli recipes.  They asked who likes broccoli and who does not.  They found out most students LIKE broccoli! Cynthia and Nancy made some broccoli badges that students can wear at lunch.

Serenity invented the idea of Broccoli Badges.  She talked with KGNU’s Miss Shelley about how she would make them.  Serenity and Nyara made some broccoli badges!
