Refreshed Dining Hall

4

This summer, we successfully completed a kitchen renovation that had been in the planning stages for several years.

 

Our serving counter has been enhanced with a new feature that allows our younger students to safely serve themselves soup. The dishes are now placed on a lower, recessed counter, making them easily accessible to the children, while an energy-efficient induction cooktop ensures the contents stay warm.

 

Additionally, we have integrated a higher shelving unit into the serving counter, which enables us to portion out salads, fruits, and desserts for our students. This way, they too can enjoy these delicious treats. By introducing this method, we can be certain that every student receives the necessary amount of salads, fruits, and desserts.

 

We have also created a new cold kitchen, offering more opportunities to introduce a wider variety of salads, snacks, and desserts into our menu.

 

Furthermore, our dishwashing area has been upgraded. We continue to emphasize the importance of allowing children to participate independently in the dishwashing process. They now place plates, glasses, utensils, and any food waste in designated areas. The open counter also gives them a glimpse into the daily life and environment of the kitchen. This year, we will continue the kitchen newsletter every two weeks, where we will share popular recipes and important nutrition-related information.
