Breakfast in the Classroom Program Shining Example

Even when Tarrah worked at the local level, I had so much respect for her and what she was able to implement and do within the school districts that she oversaw. I can remember an Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) Field Specialist telling me about Tarrah’s breakfast in the classroom program at Beach Grove Community Schools and how it was a shining example of breakfast in the classroom for the state of Indiana.

Making Students Safer 

I have been working in an urban school district for over 16 years in various roles.  We have struggled with systems and communication processes to make sure that all students are able to be accommodated for their special dietary needs with very specific safeguards in place.  Tarrah worked with us and accomplished this in just a few short months.  There is no doubt in my mind that our students are safer because of Tarrah's work.  Tarrah was very professional and took the time to understand the issues and concerns and worked very quickly to improve our systems and processes.  I highly recommend working with Tarrah.

Energy and Encouragement

Working with Tarrah was so refreshing! She brought an energy and encouragement to us that we needed to take the next steps in showcasing our breakfast program. When we saw the depth of the resources and the scope of ideas that Tarrah provided for us, we were amazed! The resources helped us immensely in planning Breakfast in the Classroom. All we had to do was add our own specific information and we had training materials ready to share with our school staff.

Needs Were Handled with Care and Accuracy

Tarah works closely with our office staff, nursing team, and parents to ensure that all dietary modifications and special diet needs are handled with care and accuracy. She plays an essential role in making sure our menus meet current guidelines, as well as upcoming sodium and sugar limits. Tarah is incredibly helpful in educating our managers, answering daily questions about special diets, allergies, and nutrition concerns. She also creates custom recipes for students with severe allergies and develops detailed grids that break down all menu items by allergens and carbohydrates. I would highly recommend Westercamp Consulting to anyone in need of expert dietetic support.

Transformative for our District

Working with Tarrah and Westercamp Consulting has been truly transformative for our district. I would recommend her without hesitation because she brings both expertise and heart to the work. Over the past year, we’ve collaborated on everything from new menu items and specialized allergy menus to expanding the use of local produce and even developing school gardens. The most beneficial aspect has been how she tailored her support to meet our unique needs. She didn’t just provide strategies — she empowered our team with the tools and confidence to implement lasting improvements.

Because of this partnership, our programs are stronger, and our staff feels supported in ways they hadn’t before. The ripple effect will be felt by students for years to come, as we are now better equipped to provide nutritious, engaging, and impactful school meals. Before working with Westercamp Consulting, we often felt stretched and reactive. Now, we feel proactive, innovative, and proud of what we are accomplishing. The magnitude of Tarrah’s work cannot be overstated — she has elevated our entire operation and left a lasting mark on our school nutrition program.

She was instrumental in keeping all of the moving parts organized and moving forward, which gave me peace of mind knowing nothing would fall through the cracks.
If a friend or colleague asked me whether I would recommend Westercamp Consulting, my answer would be a resounding ‘yes.’ Tarrah brings not only expertise but also a steady presence that helps you navigate complex projects with confidence. The most beneficial part of her work was how she broke down overwhelming requirements into manageable steps, ensuring our team could stay focused on the ultimate goal—improving meals for our students.
This work will have a lasting impact on our team and our students. Because of her support, we’re able to expand healthy meal offerings, meet grant requirements effectively, and free up staff to focus on serving kids instead of drowning in paperwork. Tarrah also helped us make this grant sustainable—her coordination with the national chefs paved the way for us to hire our very own district chef, which is an incredible long-term win for our students and staff.
Before working with Westercamp Consulting, our team often felt overwhelmed when tackling large initiatives. Afterward, we felt prepared, organized, and empowered to take on even more.
