+AEA Purchasing Summer Education and Food Show
In June and July, AEA Purchasing facilitated ServSafe® certification courses for 462 school food service staff. Of that 462, 68% passed the end exam with scores of 70% or greater. We would like to extend a warm congratulations to all of those who put forth the effort in preparing for and passing the exam! Additionally, our annual School Spirit Shows took place in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines earlier this month, hosting 126 school districts and over 500 members. Activities included four hours of education followed by a food show with 80 companies and 460+ items to sample and review.
