On Friday, June 5th, the Office of Child Nutrition for the WV Department of Education, funded, and invited school cooks and nutrition directors from across the state to attend a "Scratch Cooking" Training in Huntington, WV. The state recognizes that many counties are "bare-bones" when it comes to service personnel staffing, and in a push for less ultra-processed and processed foods, they developed 18 recipes, whether breakfast, lunch, or sides, that are much easier to make with staffing shortages, as well as new, tasty options for our students. Preston County Schools will be adopting a few of these to pilot next year in our menus, and we're hoping for positive feedback from our students and families. The favorites among our attendees and others were Overnight Oats, Breakfast Bowl, Cheesy Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, and the homemade Condiments (much less sodium). Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition attended, and trained alongside all the cooks, and wants to thank Jackie Blamble (Aurora), Tracy Rosenberger (Bruceton), and Seth Everson (Central), for taking the time to attend this training at the beginning of their summer break. Full bellies equal productive and happy kids.

PCS Summer Reading Challenges:
