The September issue of School Nutrition Magazine (circulation 50,000) features the USA Rice Federation's annual Healthy Rice Bowls Contest for kindergarten through 12th grade (K-2) school menu planners. The contest began this month to coincide with National Rice Month and the beginning of the new school year.
In a piece with the headline of "Bowl Them Over," the article says, “rice sure is nice, especially for winners of the USA Rice Federation's Healthy Rice Bowls Contest for K-12 school nutrition professionals!” It also gives details on how to submit entries for creative rice bowls served as a school lunch. The contest is an opportunity for USA Rice to promote rice usage in schools and feature winning ideas on the organization's Web site. This year's entry deadline is Nov. 6. One winner will receive a $250 Visa gift card, an Aroma commercial rice cooker for their school and a 10-cup cooker for home. Runners-up also will receive rice cookers. USA Rice works closely with the School Nutrition Association and K-12 menu planners to encourage increased rice offerings in schools.
