Lunchroom
Problems
If your child comes home
from school complaining about
his lunch this week, his com
plaint may be justified, so ask
him to bear with us during the
first week of school, says’ Ed
gar Hunter, Superintendent.
Schools in the six - county
Northwest Region began a new
program this year financed by
funds from a special state al
lotment for lunchroom super
vision. Under the program,
help is available in menu -
planning and other areas of
school food service;
The major problem facing
us this week, Hunter said, is
that we have had a big mix-up
in delivery of food items from
the wholesaler who was low
bidder on food. We hope to
have these problems ironed out
within a few days, however,
with hopes that the program
will be an improvement in the
school food service throughout
the county.
