Looking for a fun and refreshing after-school snack? Try these cool-as-a-cucumber bites! Slice up a cucumber and spread on your favorite dip—hummus, guacamole, veggie cream cheese, or tzatziki. Add a sliced grape tomato and top it off with another cucumber round for a crunchy, bite-sized snack that’s as tasty as it is fun to eat!

Donut Pop-Up Bar: A Sweet Success!

We’re in the middle of National School Breakfast Week, and one of the fun new concepts we’re piloting is a Donut Pop-Up Bar at select high schools! Students have had the chance to customize their donuts with a variety of glazes and toppings, making for a delicious and interactive breakfast experience.

So far, engagement and participation have been fantastic—it’s been amazing to see students so excited about school breakfast! This week is all about celebrating the importance of starting the day with a great meal, and we’re looking forward to using the feedback from these pop-ups to bring them to more schools across the district. Stay tuned for what’s next! 🍩✨

AACT, you crushed it! 🚀

Yesterday, we brought our chef pop-up noodle bar to AACT High School, and it was a huge success! Students were excited to mix up their lunch routine, and we loved seeing their engagement with this fresh, made-to-order concept.

As a pilot location, Academy of Arts, Careers, and Technology helped us fine-tune logistics, working with their admin team to improve flow and timing—an essential step in making this concept even better for future schools. This is just the beginning! More elevated meal experiences will be rolling out across the district, so stay tuned to see what’s coming to your school next. 👀

🍝 Happy National Pasta Day! 🍝

Is there anything more comforting than a warm, delicious bowl of pasta? Whether it’s spaghetti, macaroni, or penne, pasta is a student favorite—and a great way to fuel up for the day! Not only is it versatile and delicious, but it also provides long-lasting energy to help students stay focused and ready to learn.

We love serving up pasta dishes in our cafeterias, pairing them with nutritious sides to make a balanced meal. So here’s to celebrating one of the best foods around—happy National Pasta Day!

📚🍎 National Reading Week & Nutrition – A Perfect Pair! 🍎📚

This week, schools across the district are celebrating National Reading Week, and we love finding ways to support these important initiatives! At Poulakidas Elementary, we set up our share table right next to their reading week display, which says: “Luck is finding the perfect book.” We couldn’t agree more — we also think there’s a little luck in finding the perfect nutritious choices to fuel your day!

Our share tables help make that possible by giving students the chance to leave behind items they don’t want, so another student can enjoy them instead. It’s a great way to minimize waste and ensure more kids have access to extra food when they need it. And just like reading helps build knowledge, learning to read nutrition labels and ingredients can help students make healthier choices for life!

It’s all about working together to support student success—whether in the classroom or the cafeteria. Happy National Reading Week! 📖✨
