December 24, 1980 Students at Kraybill Mennonite School 267 students at Kraybill Mennonite School, Mount Joy RD1, have chosen not to exchange Christmas gifts, but to bring to school contributions for a special food program. The students are contri- buting whatever they wish to the Egyptian school lunch program. The three-year program was initiated through the Mennonite Central Committee on Dis- aster and World Relief, and provides food for 9,000 elementary children in nine Synod of the Nile Schools. The schools are located in the Nile Delta and the Nile Valley. One dollar will buy 43 “fool bean’ sandwiches. Fool beans are very similar to the kidney bean. The fool bean sandwich is served two or three times a week. Directors from the Men- nonite Central Committee were present last Friday for a special assembly program. David and Linda Helmus have just returned from the area requiring help, and they outlined the situation for the children at Kraybill. Kraybill has thus far collected $657 for the project (equal to 27,993 sand- wiches!), with individual contributions ranging from $1 to $45. A similar project in 1979 totaled $740.78 which was used to purchase blankets for India. Grades kindergarten through nine keep class Riverview students get a ‘taste’ of high school cafeteria werk Riverview Special Read- ing teachers Carol Lambert and Elizabeth Smedley be- lieve that it is never too early for students to begin thinking about possible career choices. As an extention of the Riverview Special Reading students’ study of nutrition, they explored career oppor- tunities in the area of food services. Miss Wiler’s high school Food Preparation classes were able to lend a helping hand. Each of her students is required to spend a day working in the cafeteria to gain first hand knowledge of all aspects of Dog licenses needed! Lancaster County Treas- urer, Robert E.

On Tuesday, December 16, Riverview’s sixth grade Special Readers had a chance to eat lunch with Miss Wiler’s high school students. After lunch, they toured the kitchen with the high school juniors and seniors close at hand to answer questions. A short question and answer period followed the tour. Sixth grade students wanted to know if high school students eat their vegetables, where cafeteria food comes from, why the student salt shakers have been removed, why caf- eteria food doesn’t taste like home cooking, and if it was hard working in the cafeter- ia. They learned that high school students aren’t much better than elementary stu- dents when it comes to eating vegetables, but high school students may refuse a vegetable serving whereas elementary students must be served the food so they can at least taste it. They were told that some of the [continued on page 7] tallies in a variety of ways. One class has a huge lunch box displayed on a bulletin board, and with each contribution another box is added. Another room adds slices of bread to one giant loaf, and in yet another class students add tiny rolls to a huge hamburger bun. Many of the students are encouraged to earn their collect money for Egyptian “fool bean’ sandwiches donations by working or doing chores at home. The school believes that the lessons they learn from sharing is in keeping with the holiday spirit.
