Everybody loves to get what they want! The head cook, Angie Ferwerda, and the other cooks at Avon High School make that happen. They allow the seniors every year to pick a meal for one day of the school year. Along with that, they also learn about the nutritional guidelines the cooks have to consider for every meal they serve.

There are meal requirements that the cooks need to follow for each meal including grains, protein, and vegetables. “Some of the meals that got picked out this year were some very interesting combinations,” Ferwerda said.

Senior Tiffany Pelton said, “The great cook herself, Angie Ferwerda, knew right from the start that I love baked beans. That made me feel really special.” Pelton realized all of the work that goes into preparing school lunches. She is really thankful for all the cooks do for our staff and students.
