Our food service director, Rodney Taylor, and his staff have been working on
GREEN -- that is
vegetables -- for some time with their
farm to table program (starting on April 15, 2005 at Jefferson Elementary). Yesterday, they opened another salad bar operation -- this one at Castle View Elementary. This is the 29th implementation of the salad bar in our 31 elementary schools -- just 2 to go. During the time of its operation we have served
over 1.3 million salad bar meals since its inception. I have watched students in these salad bar lunch operations and -- Kids do like vegetables!
In an era when there are lots of
questions being raised in various media outlets about the "health" of school cafeteria meals, we can be sure that our staff and students are getting nothing but the best and developing lifelong habits of a health lifestyle.
Thanks to ALL of our staff that work together to make this program work in our elementary schools.
Are there any projections as to how many teachers will be cut next year? Will the cuts go beyond first and second year teachers?
