Virtual Cafeteria

    By: Carrollton-Farmers Branch Elementary School

    Review:
    http://studentnutrition.cfbisd.edu is the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Elementary School Web site with a virtual cafeteria. Students choose from menu items provided for breakfast and lunch by “Cathy” the food service worker. A tally below the food tray automatically adds up nutritional data. While intended for the elementary schools in the Dallas area, any one can access and use the site.
