　　Founded in 2008, the Active Learning Elementary School in Flushing, Queens in New York City serves over 400 students from pre-kindergarten to the third grade. _(1)_ They have put their money where their mouth is with their lunch menu.
　　Three years ago, the principal noticed that many of the students were bringing their own vegetarian meals from home. The school's incorporation of health and nutrition in their educating of the children was starting to take effect. Inresponse, PS 244 started serving meatless meals three days a week nearly two years ago. _(2)_ The enthusiasm for these healthier meals was boundless, so the school expanded their vegetarian program to four days a week in the spring of 2012. _(3)_
　　All the dishes on the school's menu meet the US Department of Agriculture'sstandards and requirements for protein and nutrition per serving. Students can choose from falafels, roasted chickpeas, vegetarian chili with brown rice, roasted tofu with sesame sauce, and tofu vegetable wraps with cucumber salad,to name a few. _(4)_ Even though the school only serves meatless meals, children that bring their own lunches are free to eat whatever they want. _(5)_

(A) Then in January of 2013, PS 244 officially went completely meatless.
(B) Additionally, they tried out new vegetarian options on a small group of students and changed their menu according to their feedback.
(C) Also known as PS 244, the public school emphasizes the principle that a healthy lifestyle is a direct line to strong academic achievement.
(D) The Active Learning Elementary School is the first public school to serve anall-vegetarian menu, but it certainly won't be the last.
(E) The biggest hit with the kids are the black bean and cheddar quesadillasserved with salsa and roasted potatoes.

素食先驅
紐約市的一所公立學校成為第一所供應全素菜單的小學。
　　位於紐約市皇后區法拉盛的積極學習小學創始於 2008 年，該校提供四百多名從學齡前班到小學三年級的學生就讀。該所公立學校亦稱為 PS 244 小學，他們所強調的原則就是『健康的生活方式是達到卓越學業成果的直接方法』。而他們已經用午餐菜單來證明自己做到言行一致了。
　　該校校長三年前就發現許多學生從家裡帶來自備的素食餐點。校方將健康和營養的觀念納入孩子們的教育當中，當時就開始見效。為了對此有所回應，PS 244 小學大約兩年前便開始提供每週三天的素食餐點。此外，他們還針對一小群學生試驗新的素食菜色，並根據他們的反應來改變其菜單。正因對這些較健康的膳食抱有無限熱忱，所以該校於 2012 年春天將其素食計劃擴展到每週四天。隨後於 2013 年一月，PS 244 小學正式實行全面素食的政策。
　　學校菜單上的所有菜餚都達到美國農業部『每份食物所含蛋白質與營養』的標準及要求。學生可以選擇油炸素丸子、烤鷹嘴豆、辣醬燴時蔬搭配糙米、烤豆腐搭配芝麻醬、豆腐蔬菜卷搭配涼拌黃瓜等，僅舉幾個為例。最受孩子們歡迎的是黑豆、切達薄餅搭配莎莎醬和烤馬鈴薯。雖然學校僅供應素食餐點，但自行帶午餐的孩子仍可以隨意吃他們想要吃的東西。積極學習小學是第一所供應全素菜單的公立學校，但它肯定不會是最後一所這麼做的學校。
