"lunch Bunch Success Stories

Submitted by Bonnie Wright
F.S.D., Blue Ridge District #18

We celebrated "Lunch Bunch"  Schneider Elementary in Farmer City, one of the elementary schools in the Blue Ridge District #18. 

Congressman Tim Johnson's aide attended along with the District Superintendent, the DeWitt County Economic Development Committee, our City Administrator and the Mayor of one of the town's in our District. We discussed the variety of fruits & vegetables offered on our menu & the need for continued funding to keep them there!   With the exception of the purchased noodles for our chicken & noodles the menu was made with all commodity & DOD foods. I also sent Congressman Johnson's aide back with a copy of the responses from the ILSNA Board on the "Farm to School" bill.

The following pictures show are red white & blue theme. Be sure to check out our healthy & delicious centerpiece!
