What are your kids eating?

Today I had the unique opportunity to visit the DCPS Nutrition Service Center for a MWBE Vendor Expo in conjunction with Aramark Education. With a scene right out of a Honey Bunches of Oats commercial, I was ready to tour the "kitchen". To my surprise the "cafeteria lady" isn't the one making meatloaf surprise anymore. At the DCPS Nutrition Service Center, they have strategically come up with innovative ways to make healthy breakfast and lunch choices for the kids. All the ingredients were fresh and made to order.

Principal for a day

Today we were chosen as one of the elite business partners
in collaboration with Duval County Public Schools to participate in Principal for a day. We were paired up with Henry F. Kite Elementary, where Erdine Johnson is principal. Wow, now I see why the kids and teachers say, "Ms Johnson you're my favorite principal!"
