Exciting News! 
Last week, the PTSD FoodService won the national Breakfast TrailBlazer Award for reducing sugars and sodium in our breakfast meals while increasing the number of meals served! 
Food Service Director Shannon Gray proudly accepted the award in Las Vegas, alongside PTSD Superintendent Linda Rosenbury and Executive Director of Business, Finance and Operations Amy Khile. This award is part of the USDA's effort to improve the nutritional quality of school meals.
To be considered for the award, Shannon submitted an application including a month of menu options along with recipes for many of our freshly-prepared dishes.
"It's nice to have this kind of recognition on a national level," Shannon said. "We've been expanding our fresh food meals over the past few years, and the kids are responding by choosing to eat the meals provided. Some even come with lunchboxes in hand but still pick up a tray of fresh food! They're eating more healthy options than ever before."
While transitioning kids from high-sugar and high-sodium foods to fresh, nutritious options has been a gradual process, we’re thrilled to see them looking forward to Fresh local stretch made meals and creative ways we're packing nutrition into every bite!
