Crispell Students Visit Food Expo at the Culinary Institute of America

Big flavors, fresh feedback, and future school lunch menus in the making! 
A huge shout out to the 15 incredible students from Crispell Middle School who traveled to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park for the American Dairy Association Northeast Student Food Expo!
Our talented middle school food critics joined students from across the Hudson Valley to test and rate about 50 food and beverage items. Their taste-testing feedback will help shape what lands on future school menus, including right here in Pine Bush!

Expo Highlights:
• Crowd Favorites: Frozen Chocolate Milk and Rasta Pasta stole the show! 
• Star Power: Students got to meet and cook with Chef Darian Bryan, winner of Next Level Chef! 
• VIP Support: The New York State Dairy Ambassadors were there cheering on our student tasters.
We are so proud of our Crispell Middle School students for representing our district and lending their voices (and taste buds) to such an awesome culinary event!
