Lunch Lady Learns at Boot Camp

Kay Wernsman is the food service director for RE-1 Valley Schools and recently went to the LiveWell Colorado’s School Chef Culinary Boot Camp which reauthorized the Child Nutrition Act. She got the district a bunch of orange wedgers and apple corers with a one thousand dollar grant she won. Wernsman also learned about school food policies, time management, flavor profiles, cleaning and sanitation and lots more that will make school lunches better for everybody. She said the district is working on doing more with fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains too, so she learned some of that. Wernsman said that if the reauthorization act passes, the district will be ready as it will require just that to get more federal dollars for lunch programs.
