🥦🍎 March is National Nutrition Month! 🍎🥦

As we kick off this month focused on healthy choices and good nutrition, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to the incredible School Nutrition Staff of Candler County Schools! 👏
Every single day, they do so much more than prepare meals. They:
• Plan balanced, nutritious menus that fuel our students for success
• Prepare and serve hundreds of meals with care and efficiency
• Follow strict food safety and nutrition guidelines
• Create welcoming cafeterias where students feel cared for

Thank you, Candler County Schools Nutrition Team, for the dedication, heart, and service you give our school community every day! 👇 Help us celebrate them! Drop a THANK YOU in the comments to show your appreciation!

Shout Out!
Ms. Melissa Poole and the MES Nutrition Staff deserve recognition for their collaborative effort to provide Harvest of the Month experiences for Kindergarten-2nd grade students. They were recognized on the front page of the Candler County Extension newsletter. During the quarterly meeting in January, Mrs. Ashleigh talked about the amazing partnership with the Nutrition Staff. We love that you are getting recognized for the amount of extra work you do for our students!
