Tonight we flipped the script and our amazing culinary students were the teachers in our first annual Staff Charcuterie Class. Teammates from across the district came together for fun, fellowship, and food. #BestTeamEver 💚💛
The food was delicious. A huge thank you to our amazing food service staff for celebrating one of the things that makes Bayless so special-our diversity. #CaringCulture #PremierWorkforce
Beginning today, the cafeteria started recognizing our various countries & cultures by featuring a specific dish at lunch. This will occur once a month for the rest of the year. Today featured Kurdistan & the food was delicious!
