Food prices at Lewis Central Community Schools won’t change for the 2021-22 school year, officials agreed on Monday.
Lewis Central Nutrition Services ended the school year with a positive record for the first time in several years, Nutrition Services supervisor Mike Hoppe told the Board of Education during its regular session.
The department saw increased breakfast attendance across the district, Hoppe said. The amount of food waste decreased.
The department installed new garbage disposal at Lewis Central High School, disposed of old equipment at Kreft Primary School and installed a new freezer, bought a new dishwasher for Titan Hill Intermediate School, added storage shelves in all buildings except Kreft, incorporated new recipes in the menus and expanded breakfast and lunch distributions of the summer food service program on Mondays and Wednesdays at six locations.
For the first time, Manawa Salem Church on 10 Huron Circle will serve as a meal pickup location from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Hoppe said. Others include The Grove, 3200 Chippewa Lane, 10:30 am to 11:00 am; Chapel Ridge, 4506 Chapel Ridge Lane, 11 am to 11:30 am; Malmore Acres, 3600 Scott Drive, 11:30 am to 12:00 pm; Kreft Primary, 3206 Renner Drive, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm; and Lewis Central Middle School, 3820 Harry Langdon Blvd., 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
