Show DAVIS REFLEX JOURNAL JUNE 5, 1985 School Lunch: Nutritious By TOM BUSSELBERG Reflex Journal Editor stantly updating kitchen equipment, from new dishwashers to steamer-kettlcombinations, as e FARMINGTON - School lunch has come a long way from when Henry Heath enjoyed peanut butter sandwiches and warm milk at Kaysville Elementary School. -- THAT WAS 40 years ago. Today, even elementary school students have choices to make when they enter the cafeteria and lots of tempting entrees to wet their appe- tites. In fact, the fast food chains don't have anything on the school lunch program, says Food Services Supervisor Maxine Reeves. There are chicken nuggetts one day, to tortillas and quiche the next. And for the or teachers, co-e- d theres chef salad to boot A VETERAN of many years be- hind the serving line, Mrs. Reeves fresh" is best, giving the most in nutrients and taste. For that reason, all schools have their own kitchens and everything's made from scratch. Its not uncommon to enter a school around 10:30a.m. and smell fresh bread or rolls baking or a turkey roasting, for example. To reach that end. the district's con emphasizes were installed in several schools this past year. THE GOAL is providing a good, lunch at a reasonable cost. Elementary students will pay 70 cents again next year; junior high, 80 and high schoolers 90 cents for a hot lunch. In the elementaries, students are given one basic meal choice each day, although for the first time this past year, they joined their older counterparts in offer versus serve. That means students could refuee one-tw- o items, such as dessert or vegetable. They still pay the 70 cents but shouldn't waste as much if they dont have to take it. JUNIOR high students have not only the choice of a standard hot meal but a burger bar, as well, with that available plus a limited ala carte in the high schools. If they want a milk shake, thatll be a half dollar more or a cookie, 30 cents. We feel it's better to pay the 90 cents for a total meal," she emphasizes, but kids will be kids. A staggering amount of food is s who eat consumed by 28, school lunch on the average over well-balanc- 000-plu- 180 days.

Much of the foodstuffs come from U.S. Department of Agriculture Commodities, giving a boost to the program. Mrs. Reeves says the future for their continued availability looks good. About cents of each meal is paid for through commodities, meaning students (parents) pay that much less. Seven in 10 district students pay the full price for their meal with others receiving a reduced price charge based on family income. MORE THAN 300 employees man the kitchens each school day, some coming early to warm the ovens and mix the concoctions for another warm meal.
