Get Crafty – The Advantages Of Creative Cafeterias

If there’s ever been a year for changing up school menus, 2021 is it. Schools are juggling shortages, substitutions, and safety. Of course, leave it to school nutrition professionals to turn lemons into lemon bars, lemon chicken bakes, lemon zested fish, lemony roasted potatoes… You get the point – you have been inventive with your menus! Creativity continues to outshine challenges at every school meal. It’s been no small feat, but it’s been worth it. Not only because it’s fulfilling to nourish hundreds of thousands of children, but because there are some actual benefits to originality in school meals. Out of all the things we’ve had to try this year, perhaps creativity is something we can keep on the menu.
You have continued to turn crises into chances. It has been uplifting to watch, and we bet it has been tasty to eat. If you decide to keep on experimenting, just know you and your great teams continue to have our full support in making your lunchroom a place where students want to be.
