They will also help develop and refine our ACOR (All the Colors of the Rainbow) curriculum that the food service director and garden instructor are developing. The result will be a cookbook/activity book. The intern will also teach nutrition lessons in our lunchrooms to all classes, preschool through 6th grade.
