🍎🥗 Big things are happening in Food Service at MMK, and we’re so excited to share them with you!
✨ At the elementary school, our breakfast line has a fresh new look — students are now serving themselves! This gives them accountability, helps build GRIT, and has made breakfast service faster and easier.
🥛 We’ve also added a brand-new milk cooler, so students can quickly grab their own milk.
🍇 Plus, our salad bar has been revamped with more fruit options than ever before!
🍊 Our Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) is off to a fantastic start too. Curious about what’s on the FFVP menu? Check it out here 👉 Food Services Webpage: https://www.marymknight.com/page/food-services
We can’t wait for our students to enjoy these updates every day! 💚🤍

We’ve been busy making a few upgrades around campus lately… but this one might just steal the show! 😍✨
The next time you pull into the secondary parking lot, don’t just park and walk in — take a second, look up above the SPED room, and prepare to be wowed! We’ve added something brand new that we think you’re going to love just as much as we do.
Here it is — the before and after! We absolutely love how it turned out, and we think you will too. It’s bright, bold, and guaranteed to make you smile the second you see it.
