“I like to say [our school cafeterias] are one of the largest restaurants in town. Across 21 school campuses, we serve approximately 10,000 meals a day. This equates to around 100,000 lunches and 50,000 breakfast meals per month. Since August alone, we have served 1.25 million meals.”
That is Michelle Valdez, Director of Child Nutrition for La Mesa-Spring Valley Schools. Valdez is nearing the end of her first year with the district and brings nearly 20 years of experience in school nutrition to LMSV.
