FEAR FACTOR This year, students at Jordan Elementary School will be given opportunities to test their taste buds, challenge their minds, and improve their health! Students are invited to "face their fears" by tasting new and exotic fresh fruits and vegetables twice a week during the school year! These opportunities will be possible through the state of Illinois Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant that our school has received!
