It’s been another exciting year at Opaa! with a growing number of school districts taking advantage of our many nutritional and organizational benefits to offer their students.

We are proud that we were able to project improved food service bottom lines to each of our nine new client school districts in 2006-07. Information like this directly complements the Opaa! definition of success: Making a difference in the lives of our customers nutritionally, emotionally and financially.

2006-07 highlights include:

• Providing research, professional guidance and collaboration to our client school districts as they implemented the new federally mandated Wellness Policies
• Earning positive results from a recent Employee Survey in which our team members think very highly of Opaa!, especially in the areas of commitment, culture and family
• Partnering with a large number of our school districts last spring to provide reimbursable breakfasts to all students during MAP testing at little cost to the districts
• Leveraging relationships with our vendors and manufacturers to provide additional branded products on our menus and prizes for marketing programs
