Food for thought on what’s trending in school meal programs across the country
We all are experiencing the most daunting challenge one could imagine. Our first priority is the health and well-being of our loved ones.
ES Foods is committed to helping feed more children and minimally make a difference in the needed nourishment of these children nationwide.
Perhaps you’ve seen or heard the phrase, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes . . . Some Wear Aprons”. This couldn’t be more relevant in school foodservice than during this COVID-19 pandemic as so many groups are working together to ensure that our nation’s school children are able to receive meals while schools are closed. Everyone is doing their part – schools, foodservice directors, cafeteria staff, foodservice providers, volunteers, etc. – to provide millions of emergency meals on a daily basis.
This year’s theme for National School Breakfast Week, March 2-6, 2020, is “Out of This World” to encourage families to choose breakfast at school. . . .The USDA School Breakfast Program currently serves more than 14 million students every day.
We are excited to announce that 12-year-old dragster Danika Miles has cruised to the Top 10 in her division of the Professional Drag Racing Association (PDRA). She teaches us what a true athlete is, regardless of gender. Danika is one determined young lady!
Serving 30 million children each day, the federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for more than 70 years. This year’s National School Lunch Week theme, “School Lunch: What’s on Your Playlist?” spotlights how today’s school cafeterias are serving up healthy menu items that kids want to eat, with increased choice and customization.
It’s back-to-school time and students will be looking for “WHAT’S NEW?”. We introduced several new products at ANC this summer – ready to put on your menus this fall so that you can spice up their school meals. As you probably know, kids today like their food a little spicy – whether it’s nacho cheese sauce or pepper jack cheese. So E S Foods now offers versions of some of our popular cheese items with Pepper Jack.
