Ellie Krieger, guest White House chef and host of the Food Network’s & Cooking Channel’s popular “Healthy Appetite” visited The Neighborhood School and PS 63 on January 26 where she prepared a new school’s lunch menu that got a big thumbs up from our kids. The article about this, “New Item Added to School’s Lunch Menu” is below which identifies our school, highlighting some of kids great artwork in the background, and quotes one of our students on the front page of the DOE website. Big ups to Jackie in the kitchen who, with her staff, made Ellie and DOE staff feel right at home in HER kitchen!
