'Chicken Day' Top
Event For Students
By ANN KIL1AN
Warren Coaly Schools
Child Nutritkw Director
The aroma of fresh baked rolls and fried chicken
may greet you as you enter any local elementary
school on "chicken day," which is a favorite meal
of Warren County students. Participation is high in
these schools, around 96 percent for lunch and 60 per
cent for breakfast. All six elementary schools serve
the basic menu, with three schools, North Warren,
Vaughan and Hawkins offering some choice to
grades four through six.
Parent days are also popular for elementary-aged
children. Each school manager invites parents at
some time during the year to a special meal to be
eaten with the children. In some schools the parents
are served buffet-style, while in others parents go
through the line with their children. School lunches
aren't generally available to the public but parents
are urged to visit on special parent days.
Teachers and students help make the cafeterias at
tractive places. Bulletin boards, table decorations,
and wall murals featuring seasonal and nutritional
motifs brighten the eating areas.
NETP, which stands for Nutrition Education
Training Program, comes under the Child Nutritioin
program and since 1979 has provided a vast amount
of timely nutrition materials to teachers and
managers. All elementary schools in Warren Coun
ty have participated in the program, an option of
fered by the state. To participate, teachers attend
ed basic nutrition information classes taught by the
Child Nutrition director and other nutritionists. As
a result of attending the training, each teacher
received valuable nutrition materials to correlate in
classroom activities. Small appliances such as fry
pans, toaster ovens and small utensils were supplied
for teachers to use in nutrition activities in the
classroom.
Tasting parties teach good nutrition in a fun way.
Children have learned to eat fresh cauliflower and
broccoli by tasting them raw with a dip. Fresh
pineapple is an unfamiliar fruit that many children
have tasted through the lunchrooms' nutrition pro
gram. During Dental Health month students were
taught that carrot and celery sticks make a good
snack.
Most elementary schools have a birthday dinner
each month. Children with birthdays during that
month receive cake and ice cream and, in some
schools, sit at a special table. The efficient managers
for the six elementary schools have all completed
eight management courses offered through the state
Child Nutrition office and the state Community Col
lege system and are members of the State and Na
tional School Food Service Association. The
managers and schools are: Mrs. Ella Cook, Mariam
Boyd; Mrs. Minnie White, Northside; Mrs. Willie
Mae Williams, Vaughan; Mrs. Florence Somerville,
South Warren; Mrs. Mattie Hawkins, North Warren;
and Mrs. Ethel Harris, Hawkins Elementary School.
All six have served Warren County Schools for a com
bined total of 162 years.
Special Week Slated
Governor James G.
Martin has proclaimed
the week of April 1-6 as
"Environmental
Awareness Week" in
North Carolina, accor
ding to David Harrison of
the Warren Soil and
Water Conservation
Office.
The wise conservation
of our land and water
resources is vital and
every citizen has an in
terest in protecting the
land and water that is
needed for ' future
growth," Harrison said.
"Each year, we lose
thousands of acres of
prime farm and forest
land across the state to
non-farm uses. Soil ero
sion robs our productive
farms and fills our rivers
and streams with sedi
ment," he added.
Encouraging people to
be better stewards of our
land and water resources
is the goal of the 1965
North Carolina En
vironmental Awareness
Week, the conserva
tionist reported. The
Warren Soil and Water
Conservation District
joins with North
Carolina's S3 other Soil
and Water Conservation
Districts in observing
Environmental Aware
ness Week.
This district has a no
till planter available for
fanners to rent, Har
rison said. "No-till" is a
proven practice that pro
tects the land.
Coat-sharing on con
servation practices is
also available. These
practices include no-till,
stripcropping, terraces,
sod waterways and con
verting marginal crop
land to pasture or trees,
according to Harrison.
Environmental
Awareness Week
reminds us that our
natural resources are
precious and should be
protected and used wise
ly. Conservation con
tinues throughout the
year as we put these
ideas to work, Harrison
reminded.

manager at Northside Elementary School, stands
