Our “lunch ladies” (and gentlemen!) are back and ready to serve! This week, HCPS Food and Nutrition managers, production center assistants, and satellite kitchen assistants gathered for their opening meeting and training. They’ll now prepare for the rest of the food service staff to return next week. We can’t wait to see them fueling students with healthy meals all year long!
