J.T. Moore pilots first in-line salad bar
The school year may be winding down, but that isn't slowing down the staff at J.T. Moore! Wednesday, May 25, the school piloted the district's first in-line salad bar. Cafeteria Manager Dimples Simpson and Principal Dr. Jill Pittman collaborated with MNPS Food Service and Alignment Nashville’s School Nutrition Committee on the project. A survey will be conducted afterward to gauge how future salad bar service might be improved in order to capture more customers. This salad bar, along with a variety of other health-concious options now offered at J.T. Moore, are in part thanks to a grant MNPS and Alignment Nashville recently won from Healthways Foundation. The grant enables the training of food service managers on techniques for serving healthy and visually appealing foods.
