WELCOME BACK - SEPTEMBER EDITION
Welcome to SCHOOLHOUSE CATERING 2010-2011
It is a new year with many bright changes in the kitchen. We are keeping ideas and practices that you liked and bringing in NEW ideas for you to enjoy.
We are ensuring that the nutritional value of the food being served meets and exceeds the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines by providing nutritious, fresh and tasty locally produced (if possible) food that reflects our area.
During lunch, after receiving their entrée kids get to choose from "It's Fresh Bar". They pick from the “It's Fresh Bar” what they want to eat in addition to their entree. They will choose fruits, veggies, salads and side dishes. Research supports that giving kids choices increases what they actually consume.
We will be working with the school to implement a general wellness program for the students. Look for updated information on this journey throughout the year.
Lastly, I would like to ask you to work with us on our improvements for your child’s eating experience. You can do this by supporting the lunch program.
We are trying to implement programs that cost millions of dollars in the public school realm. We are not subsidized by the local goverment, federal government, church or school and we still believe that we can do it…one step at a time, but your support is directly related to our success!
How can you help?
Be proud of your school lunch program…we listened to the new research from the CDC, the USDA, the letsmove.gov., chef’s in the media and our parents…. and things are looking good!
Buy lunch! Don’t think about it or assume that everyone else will or wait until next month….Buy Lunch! We need your support!
Freshly Yours,
Jill
