The Red & White

As many St.George’s students know, SAGE dining is the service that cooks and feeds our school every day. Behind the scenes, the SAGE team works tirelessly to prepare meals for hundreds of students, teachers, and staff members. Their work doesn’t stop when the line closes; from early morning prep to late clean-up, the team is always busy making sure everything runs smoothly. It’s something we often take for granted. The effort that goes into feeding an entire school every day is no small task, and the St. George’s students couldn’t be more thankful for the meals they are served each day. However, taking a deeper look at the students’ opinions on the matter, many have expressed opinions on the food in the dining hall. 

New additions this year include a sidebar that has pasta or another easy option if the main isn’t floating your boat. The options are endless; one of the most liked options is on game days, “sports drinks,” which are creative drinks that include electrolytes and contents that set athletes up for peak performance. Furthermore, the salad bar is always available if you ever need it, and the dietary restrictions are very versatile. If the main meal isn’t liked, there are always other options. In the mornings, there are also handmade omelets that you can personally order, which is a good breakfast for game day. Aside from food, the entire floor of King Hall was redone, adding a new level of cleanliness and experience to the SAGE meals. 

Another thing SAGE deserves credit for is how much they pay attention to what students want. They send out surveys pretty often to hear our opinions, like what foods we want to see more of or what could be better. Whether people ask for more vegetarian choices, new themed food days, or just a different dessert, SAGE actually listens. It’s nice knowing that the dining hall isn’t just where we eat but a place that changes based on what students care about.

The dedication, creativity, and teamwork SAGE brings to our school meals show every day. The staff always greets students with positivity and a commitment to making sure everyone has something they’ll enjoy. From new menu items to improved spaces, SAGE continues to show how much they care about the dining experience at St.George’s.

There is no denying SAGE’s improvement over the past few years. The team deserves copious amounts of credit for acknowledging student feedback and taking visible steps toward better food and a better experience. The renovated space, cleaner environment, and new meal options show real progress. While there’s always room for improvement, students appreciate that SAGE reliably shows constant effort for inclusion and comfort within the dining hall. Thanks to ongoing feedback and collaboration, the St.George’s dining hall is improving in ways that really benefit students.
