Hobart donates to GHSS

FLESHERTON-

Owen Sound's Hobart Food Equipment plant gave a new commercial dishwasher to Grey Highlands Secondary School over the March Break, school principal Andrea Tang said in a news release Wednesday.

The new dishwasher was installed in the kitchen, which was freshly painted, received new ceiling tiles and a stainless steel backsplash. Staff from Hobart refinished the stainless steel counters and assisted with the technical aspects of the installation, the news release said.

Students in the school's hospitality and tourism program provide food to the school cafeteria and prepare meals for the Grey Highlands Meals on Wheels program.

This hands-on class is a great environment for those students who prefer to learn by doing rather than listening or writing, said Marjorie McIntyre, one of two teachers in the program. It really makes a difference in helping students obtain their diplomas.

Many use this experience to obtain part-time employment and others seek post-secondary training in the food services industry, the release said.

The school approached Hobart about whether it could fix its old Hobart mixer. Staff refurbished the machine and that contact led to the offer of a new machine to replace the washer, which also needed repairs.
