Last week, FoodService Director visited one of Chartwells K12’s Student Choice programs in action at Calumet New Tech High School in Gary, Ind.
Student Choice allows students to vote on what concepts they would like to see in the cafeteria. Calumet was one of the first schools to pilot the program last year.
At the Discovery Kitchen, students tried their hand at guessing types of grains. Participants were entered to win a pair of Beats headphones or prom tickets.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its partners have announced the first round of grant recipients for the program, which aims to support projects intended to strengthen the supply chain for school foodservice programs.
Metz has teamed up with its corporate partners to elevate office culture through food. Westfield Insurance in Ohio and Erie Insurance Group in PA have spearheaded the initiative.
