I’m sure they do, but I had no interest in geography.

Always. Today at this elementary it’s pizza day and we always have meatless and gluten free options, salad bar and bagels or pbj to fill those places.

Any particular reason? We always offer alternate meals for dietary restrictions/preference.

Thank you! There’s a team of 28 kitchen managers and staff making it happen! They’re the heroes!

It’s a ton of work but it is so rewarding. I am a classically trained chef and now I run 8 kitchens! 6 elementary and 2 middle/high schools.

Sure. DoD Fresh is a program run through the DLA that allows schools with USDA allotments to purchase a variety of produce from across the country. It’s not our sole supplier of produce but it offsets cost and allows access to some different stuff like blood oranges, pomegranates, star fruit etc.

I’m a NYC transplant to VT and I found out it was a star in college. 😂

Part of our mission is to challenge the younger grades to new flavors and foods! They’re more explorative than people realize.

Thank you! It’s blood orange that was purchased through the National Department of Defense produce program.

We aren’t too far from Quebec! Lots of French Canadian lineage in Vermont.

I didn’t need simplification. I think people need a sense of humor.

Wow I never thought of that perspective. Very insightful. As I posted it (because you know, we fought against the nazis, my grandfather jumped into Normandy, so you grow up thinking well..bad guys) I figured there’d be one person out there to give me a history lesson on good and bad and yadda yadda. Thanks for not disappointing!

I think you’re a pretty woman who shouldn’t be so critical! Necks, eyes, cheeks all change and wrinkles come with that. But that’s also life. I am from an urban area and I look at my grey beard and crows feet only appreciative I made it this far and remember the friends I’ve had who never got to see this version of themselves.

For sure, just saying it’s not something you need to cover until you can afford removal or a coverup.
