Salt & Straw’s September menu features creative ice creams only 4th graders could dream up, benefitting local Portland area schools

PORTLAND, Ore. (August 15, 2019) – Salt & Straw Ice Cream heads back to school this September with the return of the Student Inventor Series, launching in scoop shops and online on Friday, September 5. For this kid approved series, Salt & Straw works with local elementary schools across Portland to dream up and create a one-of-a-kind menu, highlighting the limitless creativity of kids. Every year, Head Ice Cream Maker Tyler Malek visits local 4th grade classrooms, encouraging students to submit their wildest ice cream ideas. He then selects five flavors to bring to life in the Salt & Straw kitchen. This year’s flavors for Portland include The Ballistic Bagel, I dew like you berry much (v), I oat you one, Cray Cray Caramel Confetti and Ohana’s Falcon Vanilla Taro. Proceeds of each flavor will directly benefit the participating local schools. For the first time, Salt & Straw has designed limited-edition pints, using the actual student submissions, where students are asked to name and draw their creations.
The Student Inventor Series ice creams are available by the scoop, flight or pint at all Portland area Salt & Straw scoop shops beginning Friday, September 5 through Thursday, October 3. Ice creams are available for nationwide shipping through Salt & Straw’s website www.saltandstraw.com. Through the Salt & Straw Pints Club, you can sign up for a sneak peak of the latest seasonal flavors delivered right to your doorstep before they hit scoop shops.

Student Inventor Series

While most of our monthly menus come straight from the minds of our R&D team, once a year we turn over the flavor creation to some of the best inventors we know: fourth graders! For the seventh year, we’re celebrating back-to-school by teaming up with elementary schools local to our scoop shops for a delicious lineup of limited-edition flavors inspired by the cravings and dreams of our communities’ eight-year-olds. These one-of-a-kind combinations push the boundaries of flavor fantasy, bringing a kid’s-eye view to dessert that you need to eat to believe. At each school, we work with teachers and parent organizations to make our annual Ice Cream Inventing “Assignment” fun and rewarding for the students—and because of their Thanks to the incredible amazing flavors they dream up, Salt & Straw is able to donate a portion of proceeds from these ice creams right back to the schools that invented them.
