The Hinton Record

Keystone Foodservice Brings Hinton, Hydro-Eakly

Schools New Meal Options for 2016-2017 School Year
A new menu with fresh,
healthy meal options will be
available at both Hinton and
Hydro-Eakly Public Schools for
the 2016-17 school year, thanks
to the newly announced partnership between the school districts
and
Keystone
Foodservice.
Keystone Foodservice focuses on providing freshly prepared
breakfast and lunch options for
the students it serves. The
Oklahoma-based and familyowned company serves approx-

imately 35,000 students daily

and has been selected as the
cafeteria vendor for Hinton and
Hydro-Eakly Public Schools.
Keystone is the only K12
child nutrition provider operating in Oklahoma that is actually
located and based in Oklahoma.
Keystone Foodservice prepares fresh meals for Oklahoma
students like only a business
located in Oklahoma and
focused on the health of
Oklahoma students would, said
Richard Brownen, superinten-

dent of Hinton Public Schools.

Our district was impressed
with such services as meats
being seasoned by hand and
Keystone staff personally
ensuring produce and fruit are
fresh and high quality. You
dont get that level of attention
and dedication from a company
based in another state. We
expect our students, teachers
and staff are going to be excited
this year to eat meals provided
by Keystone, said Hydro-Eakly
Superintendent Bill Derryberry.

Researcher Who Led Fight to

Eradicate Smallpox Dies at 87
The American epidemiologist whose unwavering leadership resulted in the eradication
nearly 40 years ago of smallpox, one of the world's most
feared contagious diseases, has
died.

Henderson was 87 when he
died Friday at a hospice care
facility in Towson, Maryland,

won during a 10-year period,

1967-77, by medical workers
using a surveillance-and-containment strategy rather than
the mass-vaccination approach
used in the past. Much like the
Ebola containment strategy
recently employed in West
Africa, the smallpox project
focused on cases and outbreaks, progressively eliminating the disease from where it
still existed in South America,

CDC Director Tom Frieden

said in an email that Henderson
played an instrumental role in
smallpox eradication.
"His impressive career contributed to saving millions of
lives, and will continue to save
lives for generations to come,"
he wrote.
Henderson was born Sept. 7,
1928, in Lakewood, Ohio. He
is survived by his wife, Nana,
daughter Leigh and sons

Keystone will begin serving

breakfast and lunch to the students at Hinton and HydroEakly when students return for
the start of classes. Lunch
includes a full salad bar, stocked
daily with fresh fruits and vegetables. Free and reduced prices
are available for students who
qualify.
Our goal is to provide
healthy meals that kids will eat
and enjoy and we know that
variety is key to that, said Josh
Sanders, CEO for Keystone
Foodservice. We listen to our
kids and their parents and are
always introducing new foods
throughout the school year.
Some of the menu options
area students can expect to see
include homemade chicken
enchiladas, honey-baked ham
and freshly made lasagna and
pizzas. Main courses will be
accompanied by nutritious
offerings like freshly steamed
vegetables.
Kids who eat balanced and
nutritious meals do better in
school. Research clearly shows
that, so we take our role in helping local students achieve at the
highest levels very seriously,
Sanders said.

Keystone got its start providing meal service at fraternity

and sorority houses on college
campuses in Norman and
Stillwater. Its operations have
steadily grown and this school
year it is serving more than 80
school
districts
across
Oklahoma.
We are proud to partner
with Hinton and Hydro-Eakly
Public Schools, and we are
grateful to their school boards
and administrations for their
willingness to try something
new to benefit the kids they
serve, said Sanders. We are
already getting great feedback
and look forward to cooking up
great meals for the kids in these
communities day in and day
out.

In Loving Memory...
