Together with the Let’s Move Initiative by Michelle Obama have created a Chef Partnership Program, where local celebrity Chefs Michelle Bernstein, Kris Wessel, Ken Lyon and the hotels’ very own Executive Chef Julie Frans have partnered with schools that are in the same neighborhood as their respective restaurants. Engaging students and staff in culinary arts skills and expanding nutritional knowledge are important steps to improving eating habits and increasing meal participation through a fresh approach to school food service. The Chefs work with the food service staff at their schools on a monthly basis creating wholesome and healthy dishes for the students. The dishes they create will find their way into the cafeteria’s of all Miami-Dade public schools further down the line. www.dadeschools.net
The Palms Hotel & Spa has partnered with North Beach Elementary and is proud to be working together with all their cafeteria staff to make school lunches more appetizing, healthy, nutritious and tasty.
