THURSDAY

BREAKFAST MENU Students may take two fruit servings with each meal. They must take at least one.

SNACKS The plan for snacks during the rest of the week is as follows: Thursday-melons, Friday-cucumbers.  The order of snack appearance may change depending on ripeness of the fruit and vegetables. Melons:  25% of globally consumed melons originate from China. It produces over 8 million tons of melons each year. Melons don't ripen after they are picked, so once cantaloupes are removed from the vine they will not sweeten any further. http://justfunfacts.com/interesting-facts-about-melons/ Cucumbers:  The biggest cucumber, grown in southern China, was 67 inches long and weighed 154 pounds. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/9-healthy-facts-about-cucumbers
