Health District's apple taste test a success

POMEROY–The Garfield County Health District board announced the success of an apple taste test for grade school children set up by Coordinator Jessica Nelson at the Pomeroy High School cafeteria at their meeting on October 25.

Students entering the cafeteria for lunch were given slices of different apples to taste. The apples were all Washington grown, and effort was made to get locally sourced apples. The children enjoyed the test and consumed all of the apples, and the event was funded through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-ED).

The Health board also reviewed a draft of their credit card policy. While there are some changes that still need to be made before they adopt it, the board is hopeful that it will provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.
