This week, our amazing WPS cafeteria managers rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty—literally! 🧄✨ The day started at the Waynesboro Education Farm at Berkley Glenn Elementary, where they learned about local farm operations and even planted fresh garlic.

🍅 Homemade Salsa
🍜 Chicken & Vegetable Ramen (featuring that fresh garlic!)
🍢 Chicken Souvlaki (also starring fresh garlic!)
Our team is fired up to serve these delicious, globally-inspired dishes to our students. 🌍🍴 Because at WPS, we’re all about fresh, local, and made-with-love meals. 💚
