CHANDLER, AZ — Student chefs from across Arizona aren't just making their culinary creations come to life, they're earning big accolades at the same time.No, it wasn't Costco — it was the Perry High School cafeteria, part of the Chandler Unified School District.

The Blue Watermelon Project is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to not only improve access to fresh foods in schools but also help students re-think their relationship with food. "The deconstructed lumpia bowls is where we have brown rice mixed with shredded cabbage and carrots along with chicken and spicy bread to top it off," says Tugade. "I wanted to do a plain sandwich, but then my teacher said, 'Do something from your culture.' In an instant, I thought of my mom; she always made lumpia."

Tugade was able to work alongside the Perry High School cafeteria staff to make sure her vision was executed just the way she imagined it.
