Message from Whitsons Culinary Group

This December, Whitsons produce pick for “Harvest of the Month” is carrots. Students and staff enjoyed this healthy vegetable which is served nearly every day during the school year. In January, the featured selection will be the apple. Apples are on the lunch line nearly every day and diners will have the opportunity to sample different varieties and apple-filled dishes. 

USDA regulations require that all students have at least one half a cup of fruit or vegetable on their tray. Students are developing a love of vegetables and creating life-long healthy habits. 

Thank you to the classes which decorated the kitchen for the season. The Whitsons staff enjoyed the wonderful snowflakes which serve as a reminder that winter is here for a while!

Whitsons provides a variety of gluten free meals available to any student that requires one. Parents/guardians may inform the kitchen manager in advance if a student requires a gluten free meal. 

The entire community is invited to attend the Martin Luther King Breakfast on January 17th at Amherst Regional Middle School (170 Chestnut Street).  Whitsons supports the Martin Luther King Committee and participates by preparing the breakfast for all attendees. This is always a meaningful and fun time for all.
