Student Choice Event
Students at Godwin Middle School will have the opportunity to make the lunch menu their own when they launch the new “Student Choice” program this Spring. Designed to empower students to share their voice and play an active role in choosing what they want to eat, this innovative program allows secondary students to taste and vote on what they want to eat at lunch.
On March 16th, Jamie Schumaker, Director of Dining Services will cook up a variety of recipes for students to sample from selected new food concepts. Students will then vote on their favorite option from Chromebooks at a ‘voting booth’ in the cafeteria. The winning food concept will debut in the cafeteria in the coming months.
At Godwin Middle School, the new culinary concept options to vote on will include:
● Roost: Roost features “Down Right Tasty Chicken” southern classic crispy chicken sandwiches and sides students will love!
● Made to Melt: A twist on an American comfort classic with fresh, regionally influenced ingredients and flavors for our students to showcase "everything cheese" recipes.
● Mac & Cheesyology: A popular dish, no matter your age, is all- American macaroni and cheese.
“We know there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to in-school dining,” says Jamie Schumaker. “That’s why we’re committed to working collaboratively with students to understand what foods and flavors have the greatest appeal, and to get them excited about what they eat when they’re in school. It’s another way we’re continuing to transform the school dining experience for all students.”
The Godwin Middle School café team, along with Chartwells K12 visiting Chefs, Registered Dietitians, and Marketing Teams will be cooking, serving and sharing menu information with students at Godwin throughout the program. Student ambassadors have also been identified to help promote voting and to encourage every student to ‘voice their choice’ in the new program.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on March 29th from 5-8pm and March 30th from 12-3pm. On these days there will be alternative dismissals from school to accommodate conference times. March 29th will be an Early Release day with a 1:10pm dismissal. March 30th will be a Half Day with an 11:15am dismissal.
