Over 300 students voted, and Big City Barbecue was our winner! We will be incorporating these offerings into our upcoming menus.
Thanks for everyone that participated in the event!

Chartwells held a Discovery Kitchen event at Greenwood elementary this week!
The for October has been Seed to Table, where they have focused on the impact of eating fresh fruits and vegetables and eating local produce. They spoke to the kids about being safe in the kitchen and demonstrated how to make a Pear and Raisin Salad. Some of the kids liked it so much, they asked them to start serving it in the salad bar! #ServingUpHappyandHealthy
