🌡️Food Safety Fact of the Week 🌡️

FACT: When food sits in the danger zone (41°F–135°F), bacteria can double every 20 minutes!

During National Public Health Week, remember—cooling food safely is just as important as cooking it! When cooling large batches, divide food into shallow pans to help it chill faster and stay safe.

Safe cooling tips:
✅ Cool hot foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours.
✅ Then cool foods from 70°F to 41°F in 4 hours (within a total of 6 hours).
✅ Cool foods starting from room temperature to 41°F within 4 hours.
Rapid cooling prevents bacteria growth and foodborne illness.

This month, the Anderson County School Board proudly honored our Food Service employees for their outstanding dedication and for consistently going above and beyond for our students and schools.

From early mornings to long days, their strong work ethic, commitment, and care ensure our students receive nutritious meals served with kindness and a smile. They do far more than prepare food — they help create welcoming environments and support student success every single day.

We are incredibly grateful for the heart, teamwork, and pride our Food Service staff bring to Anderson County Schools. Thank you for all that you do! 💙

We have wrapped up yet another successful Thanksgiving Lunch across our district, with a grand total of 6,009 meals served within two days.

Thanksgiving Lunch meal service is one of the most demanding days of the year, yet our staff, volunteers and ACCTC Culinary students rose to the challenge with professionalism, positivity and heart. From early morning prep to the final clean-up, they made sure that every student, staff member, and visitor felt welcomed, nourished and cared for.

We appreciate all the families and friends that were able to come out and be a part of this day with our students.
