We are thrilled to announce the installation of a brand-new dishwasher at the Lower School! This is a landmark achievement, as it marks the first dishwasher ever for our school. The completion of this project is an exciting step forward for York Academy Regional Charter School, and the positive impact it will have is immense.
By using this dishwasher and transitioning to reusable trays, we are saving over 600 foam trays from being discarded into landfills every single day. This significant reduction in waste is a meaningful step toward a more sustainable future. The students have shared their enthusiasm for the new trays, and their excitement reinforces the importance of this initiative.
A huge shoutout goes to our incredible kitchen staff, who have quickly adapted to the new equipment and procedures for cleaning the trays. Their hard work and dedication are truly commendable. Our custodial staff has also benefited from this change, as the reduction in trash bags has made their workload more manageable. Additionally, our teachers and instructional assistants have done an outstanding job ensuring a smooth transition, showcasing the strength of our school community.
While the new dishwasher doesn’t necessarily make the task of feeding our students easier, the environmental benefits far outweigh the extra effort. It takes a committed team to implement meaningful changes, and I couldn’t be prouder of our York Academy family for coming together to make this happen.
This project demonstrates that when we work together, we can achieve remarkable things. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this effort. Together, we are making a positive impact on our school and the environment!
Eat well and be healthy,
Ms. Gina, Food Services Director
