Lunch was all about trying new corn-based foods Wednesday at Northwest Expedition Academy — baby corn, corn muffins, popcorn, corn chips and corn salsa. "I like it, it's kind of spicy," incoming Hayden Meadows Elementary fourth grader Isabella Bak said after trying a nibble of the corn salsa on a blue corn tortilla chip. Wyatt Foulk, who will be in second grade at Dalton Elementary this fall, was a big fan of the muffins. "But the mini corn, I don't really like it," he said. While it was a super corny afternoon, it was also enlightening and entertaining for School PLUS students as well as families that stepped in for a free summer meal.
