Who We Are & What We Do

The Malachi Wilkerson CNP Team is made up of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well-being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. The CNP Team of Malachi Wilkerson Middle School shall administer operations in accordance with the local, state and federal guidelines that promote the health and wellness of students. Child Nutrition shall also work with the community and other district departments to meet the educational, nutritional, social and cultural needs of children while maintaining its integrity.

What We Believe

“Nutrition plays a major role in the healthy growth and development of students, and we want to make sure that every child has access to a healthy breakfast and lunch each day,” said Michelle Sailes, Director of Child Nutrition for BCS.  “When students are fed and are receiving proper nutrition, they are better able to focus in school which leads to better overall academic performance.”
