SCHOOL NUTRITION NEWSLETTER
Message from the Director
I saw this poster in a school last week and thought it was the perfect advice. As we build this year around our theme, "Everyone matters," it's a good time to do a self check of how and what we communicate to others. It's easy for many people to say or repeat things without verifying if it's true or even remotely factual. It seems almost irresistible to want to share gossip. How often have you heard someone say, "I was told..." Sometimes, wrong information about a process passes from employee to employee and negatively affects production. Other times, wrong information about a person gets passed around that creates unnecessary pain and suffering for someone that didn't deserve it. Thirty seconds of scrolling through social media is pretty convincing that many people are not taking the time to think or verify facts first. Remember, truth and accuracy do matter. Without it, a foundation of trust cannot be built. We owe it to ourselves, our coworkers and our students because everyone matters.
With gratitude,
Kathy

Example: 13418C = Day 134 of the year 2018 made by Shift C
A quick google search for Julian calendar 2018 shows me that day 134 was May 14, 2018. The product will be good until November 13, 2019.
