BY DANA BOLDT Director of Food Services Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District

Hello, Area A! I am the Food Service Director for the Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District, where I lead efforts to provide nutritious, high-quality meals to students. I hold an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Food Service Administration from Monroe Community College and a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Dietetics from the State University College at Buffalo. My journey in school nutrition began at Webster Central School District as a Food Service Helper. I quickly advanced to Kitchen Manager, a role I held for six years. In August 2017, I was appointed Food Service Director for two districts—including Honeoye Falls-Lima— through Genesee Valley BOCES-Regional Food Service. After five years in that regional role, I was honored to be hired as the full-time Food Service Director for Honeoye Falls- Lima CSD, where I continue to serve today. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my four dogs, baking, reading, and camping— especially in the Adirondacks. These hobbies help me stay grounded and energized as I take on new challenges in both my career and personal life. I’ve been a proud member of the New York School Nutrition Association (NYSNA) since 2010 and served on the executive board of the Monroe County School Nutrition Association from 2019 through October 2025. My achievements include participating in the Local Food for Schools grant, winning the National School Lunch Program Equipment Grant to purchase three combi ovens, and securing the Farm to School grant, which enabled collaboration with local farmers and small businesses. I’m excited to be serving on the NYSNA Board for the first time and look forward to contributing to the advancement of school nutrition across New York State. ~ Dana ~
