Registered Dietitian Consultant Needed for Re-designing School Lunches > posted 7.22.10
Carden Conejo school is a small private school located in Westlake Village, CA.  We enroll students in Pre-School (3 yrs old) through 8th grade.  Our enrollment is about 230 students; 60 in our lower school (3 & 4 yr olds) and 170 in our upper school (Kindergarten - 8th).

Each school day we offer an optional lunch choice for our students.  These daily lunch choices are pre-determined before the beginning of the month and sent by calendar to the families.  The daily lunches are purchased from local fast-food vendors: Mondays from Popeye's, Tuesdays from Domino's Pizza, Wednesdays from Togo's, Thursdays from Pickup Stix, and Fridays from either Gelson's or Taco Bell.  These vendors provide pre-packaged student lunches to us for about $3.00 each.

Those students choosing the school lunch for the day notify their teacher during morning attendance.  The office staff totals up the number of lunches to order and calls the vendor by 9:30 AM.  The vendor delivers the lunches to us by 11:30 AM for hand-out to the students.  We normally order as few as 25 lunches (cheese burrito from Taco Bell) to as many as 110 lunches (cheese pizza from Domino's).

We are interested in redesigning our lunches to provide healthier and more nutritious options.  We believe that will involve contracting with one or more small food service companies (local caterers?) to cook and deliver daily lunches.  We have spoken to one caterer about this.  I think we need to consult with a professional who specializes in nutrition for school-age children to help us design the new menu for the school lunches.

Seeking: Clinical Rotation > posted 7.22.10
My name is Lauren DiCicco.  I'm a University of Delaware graduate and distance dietetic intern.  I will be doing my dietetic internship out here in the LA/Ventura County area, but have yet to find a site for my clinical rotation.  I have called nearly every hospital in the area for 2 months with no luck.  Sandy Curwood at Ventura County School District referred me to you.

If there is any way that you could help me to find a clinical site or refer an RD to me, I would greatly appreciate it!  I wouldn't need to do my rotation until January, so it wouldn't be a huge rush for the RD at the site.  I want this internship more than anything and do not take this opportunity for granted.  It means everything to me.  Again, I would appreciate if there is anything at all that you could do in helping me to become a future dietitian.
