Here's to the lunch crew

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed National School Lunch Week to celebrate the school lunch program throughout the country.

This week, Hot Springs County School District and the nation are celebrating School Lunch:Recipes for Success.

On Monday morning, students at Thermopolis Middle School learned the new name for their cafeteria after putting in suggestions. They held an unveiling first thing in the morning, announcing "Catateria" as the new name.

The lunch crew got a little break at Ralph Witters Elementary when the firemen came in to serve lunch on Monday, too.

Thirty-million students are served school lunches nationwide, and our dietary staff goes above and beyond to ensure our students are getting not only healthy meals, but tasty ones as well.

Our district is fortunate, too, that we have access to the freshest vegetables around, pulling items from the middle school garden to use in various recipes.
