Student Dining
Special Programs
Educating our students about nutrition
Flik goes above and beyond by offering nutrition education programs that empower students to make healthy choices on a daily basis. By providing wholesome meals in conjunction with nutrition education, they are equpping our students with the tools to live a healthy life. Below are some of the featured programs for the 2022-23 school year:
S.E.E.D Program: Love Food, Not Waste!
The Sustainable Eating and Environmental Dining (S.E.E.D.) program was designed as our way of ensuring that we are engaging in positive practices that complement the Flik Independent School Dining's food and nutrition philosophy. The goal is to protect the environment and the ability for future generations to thrive. This year's S.E.E.D. program focus is Love Food, Not Waste. Through this program we will focus on many different ways the dining services staff can help the school and community live more sustainably.
Tried it
Tastings is an opportunity for culinary experimentation and menu building, as well as for communication with students. Tastings are a great (and simple) way to generate interest in the dining program by highlighting something special and to encourage students to try a small amount of a new healthy food or dish. The idea is that this exposure will lead to acceptance – and enjoyment – of this food.
Food Holidays
Flik will be focusing on major food hilidays every month along with traditional holidays.
VegEdge
Each month Flik will be focusing on a different vegetable and showcasing it in many ways in entrees, sides, and desserts.
Catering
Flik Dining is now available to provide catering for your event! A specific catering menu will be coming soon. In the meantime, please contact Chef Keith at kboring@wsa.net or 330.573.5526 if you have any catering needs.
