Jeri Munch with your bunch at school by Marsha Keele National School Lunch Week, 5, October is an opportunity provided by all San Juan District Schools for parents to come to school for a day. Parents may eat school lunch with their children to learn how the school 11-1- lunch program operates, what kinds of meals are served, and how their children eat their school lunches. Most schools will send home menus for that week. sample Parents may choose the day or days they would like to visit and with the school for lunch. According to Patsy Shumway, head cook at the Blanding Elementary, the biggest problem the cooks have is unwillingness of some children to try something pre-arran- ge new. Recently the Blanding Elementary cooks had a Star Wars Day Orfeaturing Spaceburgers. dinarily, said Patsy, You could not get a kid to eat cabbage, but rs because we called the cabbage-hamburge- spaceburgers the kids liked them. The staff did not divulge tjieir secret until after the lunch was over. children have definite The favorites, she noted, such as hamNavajo Tocos, and burgers, A cooks reward cheesecake. comes when the kids like the food and sometimes they even come back and tell us thanks, it was good. The Federal Government fur- nishes butter, cheese, hamburger and chicken for lunch programs. This helps a lot. The staff tries to plan around vegetables and of course, bread is made nearly every day in the lunchroom. School lunch programs are required to serve 2 ounces protein, 34 cup fruit, 34 cup vegetables, and a portion of bread daily. It was once mandatory that each child take everything on his tray whether he wanted it or not. Today a student may choose three out of four of these components. This way, if a child doesnt like milk he wont take it, open it up, and send it back nearly full. There is much less waste this way. We get so we know what the kids will eat, Patsy says. So we know we will need ten cans of corn but only eight cans of peas. Our policy is to serve'seconds in-sea- son as long as they last, she comments, rather than trying to recycle cooks the leftovers. The five at Blanding Elementary work well together. Clessa Black and Patsy work six hours daily while three others have four -- hour ; t teachers, according to UEA President Hurley Hansen.
