It was an exciting day of professional development for cooks in the Ohio County Schools Child Nutrition Department, as they welcomed a pair of special guests. Chef Andy Montero and Chef Kelly Waldron from “Chef Cyndie and the K-12 Culinary Team” lead training for the school system’s cooks today at Wheeling Park High School. Chef Cyndie and the K-12 Team work together to bring their skills and experience in developing a culinary systems approach to enhance school nutrition operations. Montero and Waldron provided OCS cooks with hands-on instruction in food production, knife skills and culinary techniques for fresh and cooked produce in addition to lessons on utilizing herbs and spices to enhance menu flavor and appeal. School system cooks also prepared recipes that were taste tested as part of the program. Ohio County Schools Child Nutrition Director Renee Griffin said the training was funded through a grant from the West Virginia Department of Education. She said the session will be of great benefit to the students of Ohio County Schools. “I’m so excited we could provide this wonderful training for our cooks,” Griffin said. “It’s very useful professional development, and it includes skills they will use every day. It’s also a great opportunity because our excellent cooks get the opportunity to work together to create even better meals for our students.” #TogetherWeAchieve

Former West Virginia University football standout Wes Lyons had a busy day today speaking with students of Ohio County Schools. As part of his Pursuit program, Lyons visited Bridge Street Middle School and Triadelphia Middle School on Friday. Over the last seven years, more than 100,000 students have been impacted by the program. The program’s mission is to enhance the student's educational experience, while preparing them for academic success by developing their decision-making skills, improving their writing and communication skills and keeping them engaged and invested in learning. The Pursuit program exposes students to life skills (managing finances, networking, goal setting, decision-making and more…), while giving students the opportunity to change the negative cycle that may be impeding their success, regardless of their background or current situation. #TogetherWeAchieve
