For National School Lunch Week, the Blue Devil Cafe has turned into carnival central!!

Yesterday we played Plinko. That was fun! But today we played “Toss the ping pong ball into Mrs. Angie’s coffee cups” (I didn’t have a good name) for prizes!!

This was the first lunch group. Five of the best behaved students got to try their hand today. They had the best time!!

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s game! Then, the kiddos get to end the week with Fall Festival on Friday afternoon!!

National School Lunch Week Is Almost Here!

School lunch has nourished students for generations. Since the National School Lunch Act established the National School Lunch Program in 1946, school meals have continued to play an important role in helping children learn, grow, and thrive.

This National School Lunch Week, join ICN in celebrating the school nutrition professionals and school meal programs that make school lunch possible every day. Throughout the week next week, we’ll highlight resources, recipes, and more to support and celebrate the people behind school meals.

Many of you have called or messaged with questions about the Granny Blue Fund in our cafeteria. I hope this clears up some of the confusion.

The extra food mentioned is anything on the serving line that students would like more of. Cafeteria staff serve each student their initial free meal, which is reimbursed through claims sent to the state's Child Nutrition Unit, but sometimes they simply want more. These a la carte items are what they are "paying extra" for. Most want an extra helping of the day's entree. Others may want an extra helping of fruit or a side dish. NO CHILD IS TURNED AWAY for wanting extra food for breakfast or lunch so long as they are not wasting and they have plenty of time to eat it.

This is where Granny Blue comes in. We understand that some don't have that extra little bit of money for more food, so Granny takes care of them. When the fund runs out, many school employees have been known to cover these costs out of their own pockets. We understand that the community members wish all the food served to students could be free. We feel the same; however, the cost for the food must be covered in one way or another. This is just one way we can be sure that happens.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shared our story with others! You are truly the best! It's been said that it takes a village to raise a child, and we feel that the Blue Devil village is doing everything it can to ensure that every child goes home fulfilled both in education and with delicious, nutritious meals. 🙂

Whew! We made it through the first breakfast of the year, and it was a HUGE success! Thank you to everyone who came down to help make the first morning back to school great for all the kiddos.

Just a few things to remember:

*All elementary students arriving at school before 7:30 should report first to the cafeteria. Teachers are not in their classrooms and ready for students before that time.

*High School students can get a Grab-N-Go breakfast and take it to the rotunda to eat any time breakfast is served.

*Breakfast is served at 7:15 every morning (a bit earlier some days). We dismiss all who are finished at 7:30, and everyone is sent to class at 7:40. Class begins promptly at 7:45.

*Any students arriving late, please come by and get a breakfast to take with you. There will be a place for you to eat before going to class.

(I didn't have time to take any pictures, so here is my and Annabelle's morning coffee pic. :) )
