HIT A HOMERUN FOR NUTRITION |
Meet Principal Connie Gwinn of the H.G.Hill Middle School - Principal Gwinn provided us with a warm and friendly atmosphere at the school gym, where Homerun for Nutrition was held. |
Our friendly group included Chef Anthony Mandriota C.E.C., Student from Art Institute, Chef Elaine Parker C.W.C., Chef Nancy Campbell, Chef Willie Jemison C.C.C., AI Student, Chef Kim Ingram, Chef Tony, and Chef Cathy Hoormann |
Chef Kim Ingram manned 1st Base - the fresh fruit kabobs - luscious large chunks of melon, pineapple and strawberries started the run around the bases. |
2nd Base- Scrambled Eggs with Chef Mandriota and the Art Institute Student Chefs - fresh hot scramble with a bit of diced smoked ham and shredded cheddar. |
 3rd Base Cereal with Chef Cathy Hoormann - Several whole grain low sugar cereals rounded 3rd as the kids made their way to home plate with the milk. |
Chef Campbell and Chef Jemison do a little soft shoe at the Purity Dairy Home plate. |
After their homerun - the kids made it to the Pitcher's mound where Chef Willie had demo plates on good nutrition, literature handouts and prize bags with all sorts of goodies and a frisbee. |
When the scorecard was all filled out and the nutritional program completed, Chef Willie had a Taco Station ready for the kids lunch. |
Chef Jemison sits with a class full of kids and explains the best way to throw a frisbee.- Oh and a plug for being a chef. |
An impromptu Question and Answer Session with the Chef |
The kids line up for the scrambled eggs. |
Each Class came through the ball park at different times so there wouldn't be an overload. Here the next class lines up to sign in and start their run around the bases. |
Chef Willie arranged for a couple of extra stops on the tour. Here
Michael Moore of R.L. SCHREIBER Spices talks to the kids of how to add flavor and zest to food without adding sugar. |

| When all was said and done, the day had been a resounding success. Over a hundred kids had come through our ballpark and rounded the bases for good nutrition. The Chefs had a great time and of course the kids enjoyed the break from classes and learned a good bit about nutrition. |
