Be the Spark

As we began this 2024-25 school year, I challenged our team to “BE THE SPARK”, inviting each of them to ignite the passion and innovation needed to lead our cafes to new heights. Just a single spark can start a fire, igniting ideas, thoughts and creativity that can then launch our teams into action. I want them to explore ways to encourage, inspire and uplift their students, co-workers and faculty. We never know what someone is going through: tough school assignment/tests, financial hardships, medical conditions or some other difficult situation they are dealing with, and a simple smile, eye contact and a quick hello can be all that is needed to brighten their day. So, join with us in this challenge to “BE THE SPARK” wherever we go!

About

Thank you for visiting our Child Nutrition Program website. We believe that children need healthy meals to learn. The Elmore County Child Nutrition Program offers healthy meals every school day, serving over 7000 nutritious meals daily. Throughout the Elmore County School district, we have 15 operating cafeterias. Child Nutrition has undergone reauthorization this year with the USDA, therefore there have been many changes to our department.  Please be sure to review our website to familiarize yourself with all of the new changes.

Beliefs

1. We believe that school meals are an important  component of student success because they:

  • Help develop sound nutritional habits
  • Expose students to a variety of foods
  • Provide healthy fruits and vegetables
  • Benefit students' behavior, including
    • attendance
    • energy levels
    • attentiveness

2. We believe that food safety is a top priority.  We have implemented a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Program throughout the District to reduce the chance of a food-borne illness event. Temperatures of all food products are monitored throughout production and service.

3. We believe that it is a privilege to serve the students of Elmore County.

4. We believe that it is our duty to promote fiscal responsibility and ensure compliance in all areas.
