School food is better

The food is so much better this year than it has been. My children never used to buy hot lunches because they didn't like the taste. Now, they buy lunch about half the time and bring lunch from home the other half. The bread is made from scratch. :

In addition to the hot lunch for the day, there is a salad bar with fresh fruit and veggies, and there is a deli bar if the child does not like or want the hot selection. And the meals (at least at the elementary school) are more interesting and varied then I have ever seen them. This week alone has Moroccan chicken couscous, pork-fried brown rice and penne pasta bar among the meals.

Buying meals online

Letters were sent to everyone, and calls were made. And the Web site is free to use and check balances. A service fee of $1.75 will apply when you pay online. When I am putting in $225 at a time for three kids, I don't mind the extra $1.75 to know the money is in the account and not lost in the bottom of a backpack somewhere, forgotten. And when the accounts get low, they send me an e-mail reminding me to deposit more money. www.MyNutriKids.com

Roberts as city manager

Another thanks goes to Loui Antonucci for encouraging consideration and thoroughness vis-a-vis the decision to extend a city manager contract to Jon Roberts. There is no fire to extinguish here, so no need to rush.
