Jasper Elementary school student Luana Vaal recently won the 2026 “Sodexo Future Chefs Challenge” Greater Jasper Schools District-Wide Finals on Wednesday, March 11th.
The contest was part of a national initiative by Sodexo to get students thinking about making healthy food choices while also encouraging them to be active and creative in the kitchen, with 200+ other school districts across the country participating.
Luana competed against six other Jasper Elementary school students creating healthy recipes inspired by their favorite lunch meals, and won the contest with her “Crust and Crumb” recipe.
The students submissions were judged on criteria including originality, taste, kid friendliness, and use of healthy ingredients.
Luana’s recipe will now be considered along with other district winners for 5 regional finalist awards. The selected regional finalists will later vie to become one of five national finalists competing for the public’s vote on us.sodexo.com.
