Art Dunham

“The food, photography and focus of their animation keeps students engaged in making healthy menu selections during each meal period. It is a win for students, a win for the school administration, and most importantly a win for our food service program. Our participation has never been better.”

The Solution

Digital Integration

Pinellas County School system was eager to leap into the digital age by replacing all hand written and printed signs listing their daily lunch options. Bringing customized day parted digital signage into the school system allowed lunch specials to be scheduled months in advance, allowing staff members to streamline the process and spend their time on more pressing matters.

Virtual Experience

Each device on campus features weather widgets, promotional panels, news-feeds, and a main content panel that includes the days current lunch options with their respective nutrition facts.

Student Engagement

One of the main goals for the school system was increasing student participation and engagement. Pinellas County Schools felt that beautiful animations, photography, and animated content would help students make healthier decisions during each lunch session. They were right!
