We want to take a moment and introduce and thank the South Fayette Cafeteria Staff for making the magic happen for your children . We are usually behind the scenes preparing breakfast , lunch , and after school meals for our students .
We prepare approximately 48,000 meals during the month , feeding approximately 3000 students / staff daily . Participation is always high because of the variety of foods that are offered . We satisfy even the most sophisticated palate .
The high school completed their renovation prior to the start of this school year , adding a Smoothie Bar featuring fresh fruit and almond milk . There is always a variety of frozen fruit smoothies daily that the students enjoy . We also added a frozen Java Mocha Coffee flavor , complete with espresso and whipped cream . A turbo oven was installed at the additional deli station so that students can have their sandwich creation toasted . The newest addition was the Panini station , offering beef steak and grilled chicken / cheese Panini baskets which are amazing .
The Nutrition Department employs 38 staff members who mostly reside within our community . Most of our employees are mothers , fathers , aunts , and grandparents of our students . Many staff members have been employed over 20 years at our schools . “ We have such a wonderful group of women and men working for our district ,” says Tricia Wood , Director of Food Services . “ Our goal is to provide excellent service for our students and families of the district so that no one will ever go hungry and that the food is safe and nourishing .
