Since the inception of Grassroots Cafe last year, the elementary students have had the option of purchasing a delicious garden salad instead of the main entree. While this is a great option for those who don't necessary like the main dish, it is becoming somewhat of a problem. The problem is they are being purchased, but not eaten. Several students are choosing to eat the bread that is provided with the salad and the cheese (from the top of the salad). The fruit and the salad itself are being thrown away. Not only is this a waste of great food, (and your money!) it is not providing them with the necessary fuel to get through the afternoon. This situation is being closely monitored again this week in the lunchroom. Last week we did speak to the entire 5th grade class about this situation. The menu follows a very similar pattern each week, so students can typically predict if there is something that they don't like. The students suggested writing in their planners on the day(s) that they want to bring cold lunch so they will have something in their system for the afternoon.
