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.
