CKC expands nutrition staff

We are pleased to announce that Registered and Licensed Dietitian Debbie Baker has joined our nutrition team to analyze all menu items and recipes for nutritional content. This includes making sure recipes follow the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act nutritional guidelines.

"It is exciting to work for a growing, dynamic company with excellent  leadership," Debbie said, "and one that does not settle for meeting the basic standards. CKC is committed to developing recipes and menus that result in foods that are as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eyes."

She encourages parents to ask their children about their meals. They will quickly learn that school lunch is nothing like they had growing up.

Prior to CKC, Debbie worked for 20 years as a clinical dietitian in hospitals and nursing homes plus 5 years in public health. Debbie earned her bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics from Keene State College in Keene, N.H. In her spare time, Debbie enjoys quilting.

Debbie will be taking over responsibilities previously held by Barb Lackner, MS, RD who will support Debbie while spearheading a new procurement / inventory system similar to those used in large public school districts. This system will help minimize substitutions, track our inventory more accurately and ensure we are not sacrificing quality with discounted products.
