The Lanett City Schools Child Nutrition Department is thrilled to welcome back all of our new and returning students, staff, and faculty! Our team has been hard at work getting ready for the new school year, and we can’t wait to see your smiling faces in the cafeteria. We are fully committed to serving up healthy, delicious meals—every meal, every day!

Here is what’s fresh on the menu this year:

🍎 Fresh Fruit & Veggie Boost: W.O. Lance Elementary is expanding fresh produce options through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program!
👩‍🍳 More Scratch-Made Meals: Lanett was chosen as one of only six school districts in Alabama to partner with the Chef Ann Foundation! Our staff will be working directly with professional chefs to bring more scratch-cooked recipes to our kitchens district-wide, complete with new grant-funded equipment to make it happen.
🥦 Alabama Farm to School: We're partnering with the AL Department of Agriculture & Industries to bring more locally grown farm-fresh produce to students across the entire district.
☕ MOO-Brew Iced Coffee: Senior high students, get ready! Thanks to a Dairy Alliance Grant, we’re launching a new iced coffee program designed to keep you energized with healthy milk options.

To top it all off, our department passed our recent Alabama State Department of Education routine audit with flying colors—including zero findings for our Summer Feeding Program! 🎉

Huge shoutout to our incredible child nutrition professionals for their hard work and dedication. Let's make it a fantastic year!

Lanett City Schools Child Nutrition Department It’s a great day to be a Panther! The Child Nutrition Department wants to extend a warm “Welcome Back to School” to all new and returning students, staff, and faculty! Our department has been busy preparing for the new year and we are excited to see everyone’s smiling faces in our cafeteria. We are committed to providing healthy, delicious meals every meal, every day! A few new things that were added to our program this year:  More Farm to School produce and fruit through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at W.O. Lance Elementary  More scratch-based cooking through the Chef Ann Foundation and the Alabama State Department of Education – district wide  More fresh produce and fruit through the Alabama Farm to School Program through the State of Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries – district wide  More healthy milk options through the MOO-Brew Diary Alliance Grant for our senior high students - iced coffee The Child Nutrition Program was chosen to participate in the Chef Ann Culinary Program and chosen as one of six school districts in the whole state of Alabama. The Chef Ann Program allows our child nutrition professionals to work with actual chefs who will provide technical assistance in more scratch- based recipe cooking. Grant funding was also provided to assist with small equipment purchases to make scratch-cooking easier. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and the Alabama Farm to School Program provides funding for the purchase of more fresh produce and fruit to reduce food costs for the department. The Moo-Brew Program is a Diary Alliance grant that will provide equipment and training for the Child Nutrition Department professionals at the high school in creating iced coffee to increase milk consumption for our older students. Lastly, a routine audit was conducted by the Alabama State Department of Education in March and June and the Child Nutrition Department had two minor findings for all programs and no findings for the Summer Feeding Program. Whoo Hoo! The child nutrition professionals are doing an outstanding job here in Lanett! It’s a Great Day to be a Panther!

Lanett City Schools is committed to preparing students for success beyond graduation by equipping educators with meaningful, real-world learning experiences. In partnership with the Chambers County Development Authority, teachers and instructional staff serving grades 6–12 recently participated in the "Teachers on Tour" professional development program.

The experience began with an informative workforce panel featuring Mrs. Kim Shane of Smurfit Westrock, Mr. Tramontae Jackson of Hi-Lex, Mrs. Maria Coley of Knauf, and Ms. Ansley Emfinger from the Chambers County Development Authority. The panelists shared valuable insights about career opportunities available within our local industries, the skills employers are seeking, and the importance of developing a highly skilled workforce for the future.

Following the panel discussion, participants toured local manufacturing facilities where they observed advanced manufacturing processes, innovative technologies, and workplace operations firsthand. These experiences provided educators with a greater understanding of the knowledge and skills students need to be successful in today's workforce.

By connecting classroom instruction with local business and industry, Lanett City Schools continues to strengthen career awareness and workforce readiness for all students. The insights gained through this experience will help teachers integrate real-world applications into daily instruction, ensuring students are prepared to pursue college, careers, military service, and other postsecondary opportunities.

Lanett City Schools extends its sincere appreciation to the Chambers County Development Authority, Smurfit Westrock, Daedong Hi-Lex, Knauf, Ajin USA, Challenge, and all of our industry partners for investing in our educators and helping us prepare the next generation of leaders.

Together, we are building brighter futures - one classroom, one partnership, and one student at a time.
