Celebrating participation increase success
When it comes to school nutrition there are so many different things that can be celebrated.
Each and every day deserves celebration just from the simple fact of running a successful school nutrition department. School nutrition professionals across the country are responsible for providing amazing meals to students and putting smiles on their face every day. Another reason to celebrate comes in the form of school nutrition participation increasing! Recently King Middle School in Kentucky underwent a modernization project where they saw their breakfast and lunch numbers skyrocket. Why did they go up? Let’s take a look and see! Help to this middle school came in the form of brand-new food court furniture. The previous furniture in the cafeteria was very old and outdated. It wasn’t an inviting place for students to be, despite all the great meals that the staff was serving. They decided to add different tables
varieties to the mix as well as incorporate their school logos on the table which were a massive hit for the students. How much of a massive hit? Let’s look at the numbers. King Middle School breakfast numbers before modernizing with AmTab was 159 students. After modernizing it jumped up to 336 students. They were serving 412 students during lunch prior to AmTab coming into the fold.After their food court transformation, they had 536 students enjoying school lunch meals. That is a 111% increase in breakfast and a 30% increase in lunch participation. What a great success story this turned out to be! From struggling participation numbers and a bland environment to a huge jump in participation as well as beautiful furniture.
