Happy Earth Week!

FCPS Food and Nutrition Services is proud to highlight the many ways our team support the environment every day.

Plant-based options are on the menu every day at FCPS. From chickenless bites to veggie chili, meatless Philly melts, and tomato grilled cheese, there’s something for everyone.

Did you know that choosing a plant-based meal just once a week can save up to 75 gallons of water? Small changes can make a big impact.

Follow along this week to see how we’re supporting the environment and our students.

🌱🥬 April FFVP Menu is Here! 🥬🌱

This month, we’re excited to highlight Lettuce as our Harvest of the Month!

Fresh, crisp, and full of nutrients, lettuce is more than just a salad base—it’s packed with vitamins A & K and adds the perfect crunch to wraps, sandwiches, and more. 🥗

Throughout April, students will get to enjoy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables as part of our Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program —helping build healthy habits one bite at a time!

✨ Fun Fact: Did you know there are over 100 types of lettuce? From romaine to butterhead, each variety has its own unique flavor and texture!

Stay tuned for this month’s menu and encourage your student to try something new!

FCPS Food & Nutrition Services is powered by child nutrition programs that help us serve fresh, nutritious meals to students every day. 🍎🥗

Programs like the National School Lunch & Breakfast Programs, Farm to School, the At-Risk Afterschool Meals Program, and the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program make it possible for us to provide meals that meet strong nutrition standards while remaining accessible to all students.

Our mission is simple: give students the tools, resources, and fresh foods they need to build lifelong healthy eating habits.

Offer vs. Serve (OVS) gives students more choice while still helping them build a complete, nutritious meal. 🥗

By letting students build their tray their own way, OVS can help reduce food waste and allow schools to offer more variety to keep meals exciting and balanced.

Curious how it works? Let FCPS students show you how they build their trays!

✨ Staff Spotlight ✨

Meet Martha Annan, Food Service Worker at Mt. Vernon Woods Elementary School!

Martha has been part of the FNS family since 2012 and has spent the last 14 years serving the Mt. Vernon Woods community. As the lead cook, Martha truly does it all — from cooking and serving meals to preparing fresh fruits and vegetables for FFVP and making sure early childhood students receive their meals. She also plays an important role in training new FNS team members.

Anyone who walks into the kitchen is greeted with Martha’s warm smile — and on special occasions, they may even be lucky enough to enjoy some of her delicious home-cooked food from Ghana.

We are incredibly grateful to have someone as caring and dedicated as Martha on our team.

💚 Thank you, Martha, for everything you do for FNS and FCPS!
