Because of her dedication to serving the students, she was promoted quickly within the district to an NSAII at Conway and then to a Manager at Pioneer. She finally moved to Juniper as the manager to share her incredible smile and enthusiasm with those students.

We look forward to many more years with Lily serving delicious and nutritious meals to the Juniper kiddos.

School Food Handler Information

Food safety and sanitation are critical, ongoing processes that require strict procedures and training. This is why we value our partnership with SchoolFoodHandler.com and the training they provide to our staff. School Food Handler, as the leading provider of online education for school nutrition professionals, offers a convenient way for our staff to maintain the highest standards in safety, sanitation, and nutrition services.

In 2015, the USDA mandated ongoing education for all school nutrition professionals through a program called Professional Standards. This comprehensive program was implemented to ensure that all staff who serve food to our nation's youth are appropriately trained to do so, instilling confidence in our operations.

In most states, the Department of Education reviews each school nutrition department every three years. During that review, our professional standards training records must be provided and justified. School Food Handler not only provides the best ongoing education but also tracks our staff's progress and supplies us with reports that efficiently satisfy all state department requests.
