In a recent meeting of the Canyons Board of Education, members expressed appreciation for the leadership and efforts of the school nutrition team, highlighting significant improvements in the quality and variety of school lunches. Board members praised the remarkable organization and output of meals provided daily, noting that the current offerings far exceed the traditional perceptions of school lunches.

One board member shared a personal experience of enjoying a school lunch, emphasizing the high quality of the meals and the positive feedback received from other directors who look to Canyons for inspiration in their own programs. The introduction of more diverse menu options, including the addition of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in elementary schools, was also celebrated. This change has reportedly been well-received, with no allergic reactions reported since its implementation.

The discussion underscored a shift in student preferences, with children now requesting a wider range of foods, including international options. The board acknowledged the need to adapt to these changing tastes, ensuring that meals remain appealing and nutritious for all students.

As the meeting concluded, members looked forward to continuing their efforts to enhance the educational experience for students, with a focus on maintaining high standards in school nutrition. The next business meeting is scheduled for 7 PM.
