Hosting breakfast

To build support and awareness of our Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) program, we partnered with Acson America, a Hispanic community activist organization, to host breakfast meetings with principals. More schools signed up to start BIC as a result.

Operations

Catering revenue on the rise in colleges

Though a large number of operators (45%) reported that their catering revenue stayed the same in the past year, there are some promising signs of growth in certain segments, according to The Big Picture.

Rymfire Elementary in Palm Coast has added special menus for those with dietary needs.

Ball-Chatham School District has committed to the new plan and believes it's the right thing to do.

New items at Winnacunnet High School include cider-glazed chicken, pulled pork tacos and more.

SNA applauds the move, saying the elimination will enable directors to serve a wider variety of menu options.

The report cards included weekly totals for the child's number of meals, milk, water, fruits and vegetables, starchy sides, ice cream, cookies, chips, etc.

We surveyed those individuals who are in charge of school foodservice operations and asked them to tell us about themselves.

Eighty-eight percent of operators say they need at least one piece of equipment to meet new meal pattern regs.
