Show Hanksville students take time out to celebrate first birthday anniversary for their school's lunch program. Lunch Program Birthday Observed ai Hanksville The Hanksville students stud-ents all attended a birthday birth-day partv for a one year old. Odd? Not really. The party was to celebrate cele-brate one year of service ser-vice of a school lunch program in Hanksville. Before this children packed cold lunches and ate in the halls of the school at ndon. Througti tha kisistance of Mrs. N6 Ekker, Hanksville Elementary School Principal and the backing of the Wayne County School Board the program was begun. The rewarding thing is that every student who attends at-tends school eats lunch ...none goes home. Mrs. Jeannirie Hunt is the lunch room manager and teriffic cook and has been planning and serving serv-ing some teriffic meals. Mrs. Ludeal Williams of Teasdale is the county supervisor for the lunch program and she was on hand to celebrate the birthday. Mrs. Shirley Wilcox decorated the lovely sheet cake that was served ser-ved to all the students. The main problem in obtaining a school lunch program was a building or facility to house it. The school board furnishes fur-nishes housing, next to the school for two teachers tea-chers and their families. These two homes were given to the Wayne School District, for such a reason, by the government govern-ment after the abandonment abandon-ment of the FAA airport six miles north of town. The school district paid the cost of moving them to their present location. Each year these homes were in use until last year when Mrs. Ekker. who is a resident of Hanksville. became principal. Since she has her ow n home on a ranch east of town the idea of using the vacant structure struc-ture for a lunch program pro-gram was begun. Two ! rooms are used to feed students, and one is used i for storage and the kit- chen has been enlarged to handle larger work i area. There are 30 chil -i dren taking part in this program and more than half reside more than a i mile from the school. |
