“This program has assisted the Dermott School District in the development of menus of a variety of entrees for our students and staff, in purchasing supplies needed in providing students with different breakfast and lunch options, and financial assistance. K-12 Culinary has also provided students some exposure to different foods and provided additional training to our cafeteria staff in preparation of different foods. They have been very collaborative with the Wellness Committee and the administration team in meeting our needs as well as our interests. We highly recommend K-12 Culinary for your school.”
