The Garfield Heights City Schools’ continued dedication to
providing students with healthy meal options was on display, once again, with
some recent specialized training for our nutrition staff. Led by Lauryn Palgut,
MS, RN, LD, Sarah Carlson, MS, RDN, LD, Nicole Ryan, RDN, LD and interns from
Pisanick Partners, the District’s food and nutrition partners, discussions took
place with Dave Sokoll from Farm Fare along with hands-on food demonstrations
with lettuce, apples and other “clean label” foods including coucous,
cauliflower and chicken salads. Apart from providing students with farm-fresh
options on a daily basis, Pisanick Parnters role with District nutrition staff
is to impart knowledge, inspire leadership and train our foods team on culinary
techniques to improve the menu. The GHCS will continue to report on such
updates throughout the school year.
