As you’ve walked around campus, you may have noticed a few different things about the cafeteria and its staff since the opening of school. Having participated in a half-day workshop during the last week of summer break, the cafeteria team is all set and roaring to make all of your cafeteria experiences pleasant ones.
Special speaker at the workshop was motivational speaker Mr. Shamron Munroe who encouraged staff in the areas of teamwork and communication. The team also heard from Donald Johnson, Cafeteria Manager; Mildred Adderley, Business Assistant; and Mr. Greg Williams, Committee of Management who all reiterated the importance of integrity, hard work, commitment, and customer service. Team building exercises were done and a special session on sales and customer service was held.
Cafeteria staff are looking forward to elevating their service this coming year. As an initiative to promote professionalism, they are now uniformed in color-coordinated Kingsway t-shirts and black pants each day. Additionally, the menu with pricing has been placed on the front wall and a menu board has been posted which will highlight weekly specials as well as provide information on nutritional benefits of certain foods. Soon to be erected is the new name “Saints Cafeteria!”
The menu has been revised and new items have been added. Focus will be placed on offering a variety of healthy options. Parents and students can look to enjoy an expanded menu of hot meals, salads, subs, and increased servings of fruits and vegetables.
A major initiative implemented is the “account system” which now allows parents to make lump sum payments towards their child’s lunch. As meals are purchased, the account balance is reduced accordingly. This initiative is focused mainly on the Elementary School at this stage but High School parents are also welcomed to participate.
Stay on the lookout for our new cafeteria sign and even more initiatives from Kingsway’s “Saints Cafeteria!”
As we begin this new school year and continue to look for ways to improve all that we do, the Cafeteria has now implemented an “account system” specifically for our Elementary students.
Green socks, shirts, shoes, ribbons, jewellery, ties whatever you have! Show your Saints pride and wear. Green all day as part of the school’s 60th Anniversary celebrations!!! Student, Parents, Alumni, Grandparents, Former Staff – anyone and everyone who has some association with Kingsway Academy – Let’s Go Green!!!
