Merchandising school meals
therine Tillett is the aide.
In these programs, the stu
dents leave their regular class to
receive individualized instruc
tion based on his or her needs
stated in their individualized ed
ucation plan or IEP.
Students can receiveacademic
assistance in one of four areas.
Those areas are Language Arts,
Math, Science and-or Social
Studies. Therefore, some stu
dents can.be in the Resource
room for four class periods. Most
resource students however are
mainstreamed in regular classes
for most of their academic sub
jects.
Students may be placed on con
sultation, (returned to regular
classes) if class work and test re
sults have improved. Students
may also be placed on consulta
tion or removed from the pro
gram at parental request.
In order for a child to be placed
in the EMH or LD program, cer
tain procedures have to be fol
lowed. First, the pupil who is
having difficulty in a given sub
ject is referred for testing by the
parent or teacher. Secondly, a
School Base Committee meeting
is held to discuss the referral and
to decide if testing is needed. Af
ter testing, parent conferences
are scheduled and a second
School Base Committee meeting
is held to discuss the test results
and program placement.
BY LACLAIRE ANDERSON
DIRECTOR OF CHILD NUTRI
TION
Webster's definition of the
term "merchandising" is "to
seek to further sales or use, by
attractive presentation and pub
licity." That's exactly what
North Carolina's school food
service folks do daily? promote,
enhance, and boost sales of
breakfast and lunches. They go
all out to merchandise those
meals.
Meals appeal begins with high
quality food, be it fresh, frozen,
dried or canned. The quality is
protected during appropriate
preparation and serving. Here in
Perquimans County, we seek the
best grades such as Grade A for
canned fruits; top quality meat
and vegetables are purchased for
use "as purchased", and Grade
B vegetables for use in mixed
menu items such as soup and
spaghetti.
Once prepared, merchandising
efforts continue at the serving
line. The managers are fully
aware that youngsters eat with
their eyes and therefore many
techniques are employed to en
tice the children to purchase.
Luncheon ambiance, the total
effect of surroundings, also influ
ences whether or not foods will
be selected. Color, design, table
and chair arrangement, noise
level, line flow, and decor all im
pact greatly on student partici
pation. Perquimans County
Schools have special wall mu
rals; tables with brightly colored
chairs; plants; and table decora
tions.
Then, of course, there is the hu
man touch? that extra smile and
cheerful friendliness? which is
an important aspect of merchan
dising.
Compare the present school
cafeteria with those of even a de
cade ago. Previously, we felt ad
equate without nondescript
lunchrooms, somewhat insensi
tive to the trends. We hadn't
quite joined the merchandising
and promotion parade.
School food service does truly
have some advantages over the
popular fast food places. One is
the captive audience; another is
the capability for self-serve
which allows the kids themselves
to select what they wish instead
of having it handed to them. Per
haps the strongest advantage is
the relationship of the children
with their whole school family?
the principal, the teachers, and
the food service staff? it's. Uke a
comfortable second home.
School food service staffs work
hard to publize their wares and
boost sales? they merchandise!
As with any selling venture, the
constant attention and effort
pays off.
