Seventy-seven students enrolled in Stephanie. Johnson and T0m Campbell’s Kewanee High School foods classes have earned their food jandler licensee. 

Megan Washburn and Alexis Lindbom from the Henry-Stark County Health Department facilitated a week-long food handler training course that culminated with the students receiving their license. 

All 77 license fees ($15 each) were paid by Kewanee’s McDonald’s restaurant. 

All employees working in a food establishment must complete this training. 

This license should increase the student’s ability to attain employment, school officials said.
