National School Breakfast Week | | |
|
|
March 7-11 was National School Breakfast Week! To celebrate, school nutrition professionals and students were encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast. On March 7th students dressed as their favorite superhero or wore their favorite superhero t-shirt!
“A healthy breakfast at the start of the day is a great way to ensure students are nourished and ready to learn,” said Renvie Rulloda, Director of Dining Services.
Some of the delicious breakfast menu options Alice ISD offers students include Mini Confetti Pancakes; Turkey, Ham, Egg & Cheese Burrito; and Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches to name a few.

Student Choice at Alice High School | |
|
On Wednesday, March 9, Alice High School students were able to taste test Southwest Beef Mac & Cheese and Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken and vote on their favorite! Students were able to see live results by participating in our online voting (with provided laptops.)
After collecting all votes, this year's Student Choice winner is Mac & Cheesy Ology! The winning concept will be featured at the new Student Choice station for 2-weeks, beginning April 4-15, as a limited-time offer for students to enjoy!
About Student Choice:
Student Choice promises to deliver on engagement by giving students a voice in their menu options! New, on-trend station concepts provide more variety, while voting allows for better student interaction – all resulting in an enhanced student dining experience.
This initiative is just one way Alice ISD and its foodservice partner Chartwells K12 are reimagining the school dining experience.

Let’s give a big CHEERS to Cindy! For this month's Cheers nomination, we recognized Cindy for ensuring that all of the students at Dubose Elementary School are always fed and ready to take on another day of learning new things in class.
Cindy's efforts in running the cafeteria for the kids, the teaching staff, and her Food Service team at Dubose go unnoticed and is the main reason for having such a smooth operation at her campus. Thank you Cindy for all your hard work and your team!
Cheers Program:
The Cheers Program recognizes Food Service Department associates who go above and beyond and support our mission to make sure that students leave the cafeteria happier and healthier!
