MES Student Named Future Chef Competition Winner

Eighteen finalists representing each of the York County School Division's (YCSD) elementary schools competed in the Sodexo Future Chefs Culinary Competition on March 19. This was the first round of a national competition involving school systems from across the country. The primary goal of the contest is to get kids thinking about healthy eating by creating healthy recipes.

The YCSD finalists' recipes were chosen from among more than 100 entries. The finalists were then invited to create their snacks for a panel of judges to taste and score. Hungry spectators were allowed to sample all the entries as well — a deliciously challenging and fulfilling job!

Congratulations to all the contestants and to the three medal winners:

Gold medal – Kieran McIntosh, Magruder Elementary School (MES)
Silver medal – Martene Whiting, Mt. Vernon Elementary School (MVES)
Bronze medal – Jackson Glass, Tabb Elementary School (TES)

Kieran’s recipe will now be entered into a regional competition with a chance to move forward to the national Sodexo competition.
