Timothy Howes: Education and Food is Why We’re Here

North Haven Courier Masthead Timothy Howes

ACES’s Timothy Howes says food, transportation, and technology are the education cornerstones. Although there was some initial pushback from the students to things like flaxseed pizza dough, ACES cooks played around with the recipe until they found a healthy, honey-wheat version that the kids did enjoy. It’s that sort of problem solving that he enjoys as ACES assistant executive for Finance and Operations.

A one-size-fits-all approach isn’t working for many of our students. It’s time to make it personal.
