FCCPS Food Services and their director, Richard Kane, won for the Healthy School Meal category and were congratulated by the Falls Church School Board and School Board chairman Susan Kearney on Tuesday. They were also recognized by Virginia First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe at the VSBA Conference on Education in Richmond.
