The new Lunch Program at Sainte Thérèse de Boileau School is already transforming daily life for students — and the results from its first operating period are overwhelmingly positive.
The kitchen team has worked with dedication and care to provide healthy, balanced, and reliable meals each school day. Their work is more than food preparation; it is an essential part of supporting students’ health, well being, and academic success.
A Well Run, Well Loved Program
The kitchen now operates with a clear structure and trained staff, including a chef, kitchen helpers, and cleaning personnel who work together to ensure meals are prepared safely and served on time. The facility includes designated areas for preparation, cooking, storage, and washing, all maintained with strong hygiene standards.
Food is sourced from local markets, approved suppliers, and donations, allowing the school to provide nutritious meals made from rice, maize, legumes, vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish. Careful inventory management helps reduce waste and prevent shortages.
Students Are Thriving
Feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive. They consistently praise:
- The regularity and reliability of meal service
- The taste and quality of the food
- Generous portions that keep them full and focused
- The cleanliness of utensils and serving areas
- The growing variety of menus
For many children, this daily meal is the only meal they’ll have – essential to their health, which helps them stay energized, attentive, and ready to learn.
