Thank you, School Lunch Heroes!
Each and every one of you plays an important role in our School Nutrition team. Now, more than ever, your dedication and passion to child nutrition really stand out as you work non-stop to provide meals to our students. You belong to an elite group of professionals and you serve so much more than just food. Happy School Lunch Hero Day! And to all of you who serve as Mothers, I hope you celebrate your most important job this weekend.
With gratitude,
Kathy

Kathryn's Kitchen Tips
We are getting close to the end of this school year and it’s time to keep a close eye on your inventory and what you are ordering. Order only what is needed, you do not want extra product sitting in your freezer or stock room over the summer. Remember, all menu substitutions must go through Kathy!
Fun Fact: I am one of nine kids in my family. P.S. I am the favorite.
Laura's Logic
My younger sister has been hard of hearing since she was a toddler. When she started preschool at Trade Winds, she was taught very limited sign language. She was so eager to share what she learned, so she taught our entire family how to sign the alphabet, a variety of words, and two Christmas songs: I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas and Jingle Bells. I can still remember most of it today!!
Ashley's Advice
Don't forget those item codes on Production Records AND Inventory transfer sheets :)
Fun Fact:
I LOVE to go play Bingo! Growing up, my Grandma used to take my cousins and I to visit our Great Granny at the nursing home and we would host the Bingo for the residents. Now my cousins, sister and I all get together when we can for a good ole' night out of BINGO!
