Tonight, a very special group of leaders were recognized & celebrated —our cafeteria managers who are retiring this year:

Zigo Tesfai - Heartland
Rebecca Labus - John Ross
Vickie Lewis - Clegern (not pictured)

We are deeply grateful for the years of leadership, early mornings, problem-solving & pride they brought to their work. They have helped shape the culture of our schools in ways that will last well beyond their time here.

Please join us in thanking our retiring cafeteria managers for their incredible service & wishing them all the best in this next chapter! 🥂

Whole Food First: Less Sugar, More Nutrition

We removed juice from our menu this year & the math is in - this shift removed 23,000 pounds of liquid sugars annually from our student meals 🤓

🍎 Whole fruit ➡️ fiber + slower sugar absorption = satisfies hunger for a longer period

🧃 Juice ➡️ little to no fiber + fast sugar delivery = sugar highs & crashes

For our students, this change supports:
🟠 Diet quality
🟠 Blood sugar balance (satiety & focus)
🟠 Whole food health habits

We’re excited to offer our students more fiber & steadier energy to fuel their busy days!

A professional day well spent brings a week of content - or something like that!

Our manager team spent the morning with Chef Callie of Cooking for Kids, for a knife skills training 🔪🍈🥦🍊🧅

We also tried the new cinnamon rolls (no pics) for next school year 😋… it’s a hard job, but someone has to do it!
