FOREWORD This bulletin has been prepared as an aid in the further development and better understanding- of the State School Lunch Program as an important phase of the total program of educa-tion in North Carolina public schools. The School Lunch Program may be considered in many ways as an instructional program. Here, children are taught better food habits, resulting in healthier children who make better progress in their school work. The child's attitude toward the Food Service Program will be greatly influenced by the facili-ties, general appearance of the whole school lunch department, the type and quality of food and the manner in which it is served, the general atmosphere which prevails, and the extent to which the school staff makes this Program significant in the school-wide program. The community in general will be influenced by what the children think of their Program, the extent to which the school acquaints them with the objectives of the Program, the oppor-tunities which the school gives the parents and community to participate in the maintenance of the Program, and the extent to which the school informs them of the outcom.es and use made of funds secured from financial drives and other contributions. Parents and the community as a whole will cooperate if ap-proached in the right way and if informed of plans and out-comes of plans. Although the Lunch Program has been well accepted by school officials, patrons, and children, in many respects the serv-ice can and should be improved. The ideas included in this bulletin, if followed, will improve the quality of service, raise the standards of operation, provide better facilities, and tend to make more attractive the environment where school children eat. This bulletin is the result of the combined efforts of a large number of people representative of many professions, agencies, and other organizations. The efforts and contributions of these people are greatly appreciated. It is my sincere hope that this publication will serve its purpose as a guide for better school food service, better use of lunchroom facilities, and better func-tioning in the lives of a greater number of North Carolina's school children.
