Menu
Breakfast is available daily at nutrition break. Students may choose bagel and cream cheese, cereal and milk, fruit and juice all for $2.00. Come by the tables outside the multipurpose room to purchase and pick up.

All school lunch choices are prepared for a walk-around, social lunch and are delivered in a brown bag format. The main food changes daily and is listed in this section. Lunch choices include low-fat milk, vegetable, fruit and dessert. Students, please order a lunch in the attendance office before 8:15 in the morning. It is a nutritional bargain at $3.50 per lunch.

__________

Notice breakfast is served OUTSIDE the multi-purpose room and that lunch is in brown bags for “walk-around, social lunch”.

If that is the case, then the money better go to build our teenagers at Mack High a safe, warm place to eat lunch. I cannot believe that students without vehicles or rides to leave campus have to shiver in the hallways, if they cannot find a teacher who is willing to open their classroom so that they can have shelter out of the rain/wind/cold.

I went to Mack High in the mid-80s and remember shivering in the cold hallways at lunchtime. Why has this not changed? Why did the structural improvements done a few years ago just go to benefiting the staff and teachers with new offices and a break room when the main concern should have been the students?

Are my grandchildren going to be shivering in the Mack High hallways, too?
