Snack Master Competition seeking participants

This competition is open to all individuals or groups (i.e. classes, afterschool programs, clubs, etc.) in Kindergarten through 12th grade enrolled in Jackson County Public Schools.

Students are encouraged to create an original recipe and turn it in to their school’s cafeteria manager by March 3. Submitted recipes will be reviewed by members of SHAC. The top student and group entries will go on to compete in the Healthy Snack Master Competition at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 23, at Blue Ridge School.

At the Healthy Snack Master Competition, a panel of judges will determine the winning healthy snack based on taste, appearance, healthfulness and creativity. Superlatives will also be awarded for the Best Bite, People’s Choice and Most Creative Name.

Flyers with rules and an ingredient list and entry forms are available from K-12 teachers. For more information on the competition call School Nutrition Director Laura Cabe at 586-2311 ext. 1936.
