I wanna go to school

Jamin came home from school today with a new Canteen lunch menu. I'm thinking that I want to go to school so I can have lunch there. Some of the things on the menu are:

Chicken Parmesan with Butter Noodles $3
Baked Ham w/ cheesy mashed potatoes $3
Broccoli and cheddar soup $1 for small, $1.25 for large
Taco Salad $3
Steak & Pear Salad $3
Roast Pork, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad sandwiches $2.50
Clubhouse wrap, Taco wrap $2.50
Spinach salad with cheese & mushrooms $3
Mini Pizza $3
Perogies w/ sour cream $2.50

There are other things like fruit, cookies, muffins, pudding, veggies & dip, other soups and sandwiches. Anybody remember what was in our canteens when we were in school? I remember hotdog days and chips and bars, and nachos and cheese in high school. Oh, and one time in grade 2 we could order weiners and beans. I did not like them. I still do not like them. I think this is a big improvement. Not that I'm complaining about chips and chocolate and nachos and cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love all those things. But it's nice to see some more options and some healthier options.

I maybe didn't list all the healthier options but everyday they can order veggies, tossed salads, fruit, milk, and soup and sandwiches. Sounds good to me!

That's an impressive menu for a school. And the prices aren't bad either.

I wish we had that at our school...I'd buy lunch every day! When I was in my last year of student teaching, the school I was at sold caesar salad every day. It was only $1.00 for a large plate with dressing! (I bought it often during my teaching block!)
