In honor of National School Lunch Week, the elementary cafeterias throughout the Dallas School Dis- trict held an “Eat Lunch With Your Child Day” for parents. These days coincided with the nationwide School Lunch Week, Oct. 11 - Oct. 17. The Dallas School District has participated in the national pro- gram since 1946, making it possible to serve wholesome and nutritious low-cost lunches to students every school day. In keeping with the national slogan ‘Programmed for Power”, the Universal Menu was served during the week-long cele- bration: Power Source Burger, Veg- etable Chips, Printout Potatoes, Apple Bytes and Basic Milk. This menu was the same lunch being served in more than 90,000 schools across the United States that week. On the day I visited Westmore- land Elementary School, the menu consisted of honey baked chicken, buttered whipped potatoes with gravy, fresh lettuce leaf with slice of tomato with dressing, pudding pop and milk or juice. Moms waited in line with their children and sat with them while they ate. Children who do not pur- chase their lunches also were allowed to eat with their parents or a guest. This year at the Intermediate School, the deli corner has been added to the menu. In addition to the two regular entrees offered, a student may choose a hoagie from the deli, Pizza is also available daily. To add variety, cookies, ice cream and assorted chips are avail- able both to students purchasing it. These additions, presented in an age group old enough to make wise selections, increased school lunch program participation 31 percent. The use of government commodi- ties is vital in keeping down the cost of the lunch program. According to Mary Reistetter, ARA food service director, home- made items like Cheese Biscuits, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Raisin Honey Drops and Triple Decker Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, utilize cheddar cheese, ground 000000000000000000 ® ® ° H (Hy: ® S$ 1.f [Leh 3 ® HEa ME ® C Llelecib ® @® ‘ffs ® 8 N [STHTPTEES: ® ® e e ® C OR NEU RS ®® o .
