In a recent episode of "60 Segundos con GUSD," interim superintendent Laura Cortés highlighted the essential role of the nutrition team within the district. The segment featured team members, including Mary Chappa and Rosa Córdoba, who shared insights into their daily operations and the meals they prepare for students.
Córdoba described her morning routine, which begins at 7:30 AM, focusing on meal preparation for students. She emphasized her passion for cooking, which she developed while cooking with her family. The team prepares a variety of dishes, including pozole, fajitas, and birria, all of which are popular among the students.
The discussion underscored the importance of nutrition in schools, with Córdoba noting that her work helps her learn about healthy eating habits for her own children. This connection between school meals and family nutrition highlights the broader impact of school nutrition programs on community health.
Cortés expressed gratitude for the team's dedication and efforts in ensuring students receive nutritious meals. The segment served not only to inform the community about the nutrition team's work but also to celebrate their contributions to student well-being.
As the district continues to prioritize student health, the commitment of the nutrition team remains a vital component of GUSD's mission. The community can look forward to more updates on initiatives aimed at enhancing student nutrition and overall wellness.
