Bridgeton Board of Education
NJHCN Funder: New Jersey Department of Health
|
The Bridgeton Food Services Department’s motto is that “Feeding Education is always on the Menu”. This couldn’t be any more true as the COVID-19 pandemic closed schools. In response the Food Services Department jumped head first into switching from feeding in the cafeteria to curb-side pick-up to ensure that the students of Bridgeton continued to receive proper nutrition. Having a full stomach is key for students to be able to focus on their school work at home.
