Schools Out But Not For Everyone

Children started enjoying summer vacation in June, but for those in the Huron City School district who feed those students during the school year, education doesn’t end.

Six Huron City School cafeteria employees, along with Food Service Director Sue Whitaker, attended the School Nutrition Association of Ohio Conference held in Columbus. The staff took two, 10-hour classes in just two and a half days. These classes enabled them to become state and nationally certified in school nutrition, and is designed to bring together cafeteria staff from all over the state to learn, share and further their love of student nutrition.

The school cafeteria staff is always looking for ways to further their knowledge of feeding children and providing them with the best meals possible. While at the conference, they were able to attend a vendor fair featuring lots of new items for school meals that Huron hopes to be able to look at implemented in the upcoming school year.

“School meals continue to change and all those involved in serving school meals also continue to make the best changes possible. Each and every one of us feel the responsibility of “Feeding the Future” is a very important role,” Whitaker said.
