Below: Susie & Jamie put out a 'suggestion box' in the cafeteria for about a week. The goal was to let the students help with the planning of the last monthly menu for this school year, (June). They wanted to find out which lunches from this school year were the students 'favorites' that could be included into that June Menu; that they could have one last time. After the votes were in, and tallied, Jamie made the sign below to show the children how their votes added up. The official winner was 'bacon' (which was left for show), but it was explained that bacon is not an actual lunch, so the real top 3 winners were....
BAKED POTATO BAR, CHICKEN NUGGETS and MAC & CHEESE!

May 1, 2015- Welcomed students into the month of May with our vegetable flowers!

Tuesday April 28, 2015 TCS Kitchen Staff Created an "Eat A Rainbow" to get more students to at least try new/different fruits & vegetables. The children were also provided an activity sheet to do/color if they had time after they finished their lunch. Most of those that completed the sheets were happy to let us hang them on display in the cafeteria (see below), others were just as excited to bring them home to share.
