The Happiest Place in School Welcomes You!
Welcome to your winter quarterly newsletter! We are excited to share our story with you!
We had a fantastic fall featuring new menu items at all the schools like Raman Bowls and Bibimbap.
The students at the elementary school love the new menu options and participation is up substantially.
We hosted a couple of special events and Fun Days like Discovery Kitchen & Mood Boost. See a couple of photos on the next page showcasing some of the highlights.
We have plans for the winter months to keep students engaged and participating in the dining program. See what we have in store for you in this issue.
