The Butts County School System School Nutrition Department attended the Georgia School Nutrition Association Kick-off Lunch this week.

 

Two Butts County School System schools, Stark Elementary and Henderson Middle School, both received the Cafeteria of Excellence award from the Georgia Department of Education. ​​​​​​​​This award recognizes opportunity, upholding both the Georgia School Nutrition standards and the standards of excellence envisioned by Dr. Josephine Martin. These standards are aimed at recognizing the work of local school nutrition professionals for their exceptional attention to serving quality school meals and providing excellent customer service while maintaining program integrity.

 

Award requirements include criteria reflective of menu standards, service of Georgia Grown products, student meal participation, school nutrition promotion plan, and health inspection scores. The application also requires a letter of support from a school/district-level administrator or community partner demonstrating the applicant’s customer service and student engagement.

 

Mr. Rustin, BCSS Assistant Superintendent, joined SNP Director Nicole James, Lead Manager Amber Martin, Stark Elementary Kitchen Manager Charlotte Dougherty, and Henderson Middle Kitchen Manager Donna Steadham in receiving our awards. We are thankful to all of our school nutrtion program teammates for fueling our students' success!
