National School Lunch Week

Text And Photos By DEB FOX This week is national school lunch week and schools across the country are learning about nutrition through social awareness. Lakeland Community Schools’ cafeterias should be considered this area’s largest restaurant because of the number of students they serve each day. For example Wawasee High School serves 770 students per day; Syracuse 773 a day, both elementary and junior high; Milford Elementary and Junior High, a total of 461 a day; and North Webster Elementary and Junior High feed approximately 500 students. Lois Kohr, Food Services Manager, stated in September there were over 51,518 meals served in the corporation’s cafeterias.

Wawasee offers snack bar, ala carte line

Several high school students in the honor independent study group were asked their feelings on the snack bar at Wawasee. Their answers follow-: Mary Medlock, a junior, stated it was okay because it helps during HIT time. For her it doesn’t interfere with her lunch, since her HIT period is after lunch. Karla Krueger, a senior, likes the snack bar because, “If you don’t eat during lunch you can during HIT period. ” Pam Matney, a senior, likes it more than the other girls. She stated, “that’s the only time I eat. I always eat at the snack bar. Keela Hamman, stated it’s good to have the snack bar, as long as the kids don't over do it.

the junior high and elementary levels, however, there are some who do not participate in the school’s lunch program even at the high school level. Millie Gray, head cook for the North Webster Schools, stated there are 40 kids at the elementary level at North Webster who carry their lunches to school; eind in the junior high, she commented, there are kids who don’t eat lunch at all or bring their lunches. Mrs. Gray believes that if the student doesn’t like what the school is having, especially if it’s two to three different items on the tray, she can see them bringing their lunches instead of wasting the food. But she commented that they try to at least have the students try the food on the trays before they are allowed to have seconds of something else. Mrs. Gray stated the parents cannot purchase the same kind of food the school uses for nutrition for what it costs to buy the lunch at school. She added there are some students who get good

National School Lunch week tries to help eliminate the sack lunches by their program which includes classroom isntruction on nutrition, set up by the teachers.
