October 10 to 14 was National School Lunch Week. Escambia County Board of Education members were invited to lunch at Escambia County High School in Atmore or W.S. Neal High School in Brewton, Wednesday, October 12.
BOE members attending in Atmore were Coleman Wallace, Loumeek White and myself.
We were joined by Principal Kike Pettaway, Assistant Principal Greg Brock and Assistant Principal Terries Lett. We received a warm welcome from Manager Cindy Young, who along with her staff was busy as they could be.
Lunch is a bit different than when I was in school many years ago. We would never have dreamed of having gumbo which was the entrée that particular day. And it wasn’t prepared just for “company.” That’s what students had too.
When we think of a school day, we may think of only administrators and teachers, but a lot of other folks are involved in making a school day successful. I count the lunchroom staffs among those folks.
Here’s a shout out to Child Nutrition Program Director Susanne Boutwell, SNS, and Sheila Ashcraft, CNP secretary. And here’s a salute to the “lunchroom ladies (and guys)” in the county public school system.
