Shauna Strong a long time teacher and current literacy specialist has seen many things change with in the school district, and one of those things is the lunch menu.
" I remember when they just feed the kids pizza and hamburgers every day." Strong said.
" The Lunch Menu has really come a long way. The school district is even feeding the kids a good breakfast each day, to emphasize the importance of good breakfast in the morning." Strong said.
" I think the Breakfast in the morning has helped the students have energy and focus on there schoolwork throughout the day." Strong said.
