District Receives Grant for Dairy Machine in BPHS
Cafeteria--Food Service Director Joe Consolmagno submitted
a successful grant application to the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association to
receive a 3-A-Day vending machine for the Bethel Park High School Cafeteria.

Currently the machine is stocked with 1% white and flavored milk pints,
string cheese and three varieties of yogurt. This high-tech machine
possesses sensitive controls, so that in the even of a power outage, the
machine will not dispense any products if the temperature rises to a danger
range for an extended period of time. This machine will help everyone
to meet their goal of getting three servings of dairy products a day! |
