Aramark Marks "School Lunch Week"
By Gabe Bullard
This week is the School Nutrition Association's National School Lunch Week. To celebrate, Aramark - who provides lunches to St. Louis Public Schools - is encouraging students to participate in the week's theme, "Vote for School Lunch."
By visiting the website
voteforschoollunch.org students can vote for cartoon representations of their favorite school lunches. The website is also intended to educate students about healthy lunches.
In an article on health information blog
groupvita.com, President of Aramark Education
David Maple says the week is a time for Aramark to celebrate its commitment to healthy lunches.
The article also says that Aramark has developed new, healthier recipes. For St. Louis, this includes grilled chicken salad; baked chips; yogurt parfaits; 100 calorie snacks; chicken
quesadilla; teriyaki chicken with steamed rice; taco salad with rice and black beans.

Finally, then, some much-needed improvement. Hope those new choices will get SLPS out of the cellar.

Thanks to the elected board for keeping this as a priority and forcing the current powers that be to work on it!

Thanks for this website. My 4th grade students had a ball going to the site and voting. SLPS doesn't have a link or mention of the site.
