Cafeteria introduces new lunch options

District revamps menu, gives students more lunch choices

By Zoie German-Martinez

The cafeteria has introduced new food choices. Most of the options are in the á la carte section, such as shepherd’s pie and corn dogs, but you can also find foods like hummus and cheese or a marinated mushroom salad.

Lindsey Morgan, the food supervisor at the district office, said the district looked at feedback from staff and students. She said they worked to increase vegetarian options while trying to appeal to students who often choose to go off campus to eat.

“Any change involves looking at variety,” she said.

Yet the students who eat on campus are continuing to fall back on the regulars, including pizza, spicy chicken and sandwiches.

When senior Katelyn Murrish was asked if students cared about the new changes, she said no.

But she also mentioned that the lunch workers’ work doesn’t go unnoticed.

“With the resources they’re given and with the government saying that ‘you have to have this much protein,’ they do a good job,” she said.

Fellow senior Joel Jossie agreed.

“The food is still mediocre,” he added.
