Tornado Alley offers new choices
Seidy Marquez
Filling the new hot plates with more breakfast options is Dawn Walker, Dolores Torres, and Luzella Williams . The new breakfast and lunch program has made more work for the ladies in the cafeteria because they are preparing much more food now.
New: four breakfast and seven lunch items available Yesenia Hernandez Senior Students found some big changes in the Tornado Alley cafeteria when they returned to school this fall. Changes such as larger varieties of food and drinks, the new window for the hot lunch line, and hot plates/containers were among some of the changes. One of the most obvious changes is that breakfast is now served during homeroom time. For breakfast, stu-
dents and staff/teachers may choose between four items. By lunch the options increase to seven different items. Doris Dancer, as part of the cafeteria staff, makes the decisions for the food choices of the day, except the hot lunch. As for drinks, students may pick between white milk, chocolate milk, and juices during breakfast. On Tuesdays and Thursdays Kool-
Aid is available as well as tea, water, and milk for lunch. The 75% of students, who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program pay $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch. The price for full-pay lunch is $1.75, and breakfast is $.75. “That cost is minimal,” said Principal Kenny Stringer. “Students can’t go off campus and get a meal like they receive in the cafeteria for that price.”

Students seem to be eating more. Last year, the cafeteria served about 100 breakfasts. This year that number has jumped to a 320 average.t The number of lunches has risen from 300 to 350 each day. As to a day’s preparation of entrees to be served, the cafeteria staff arrives at 6:00 a.m. and finishes the day at 2 p.m. Seven workers make up the staff with specific duties to accomplish. Day by day the women are dedicated to such a stressful job, and even through chaos they manage. “I’m impressed how well they are handling the stress level,” said Barbara Brinkley. “They are doing a great job getting the food ready for the students to eat.” In addition to the changes, the newly renovated cafeteria has benefited the students. It has had a decrease in food wasted, and the use of the student ID card speeds the process. Students can go through several different lines to get what they want for lunch. It is reccomended for the students to use the ID cards because it doesn’t freeze the system. Students must please remember to “Use your ID card,” said Mrs. Dancer. “I think the lunch program is great! It’s a little bit more work, but it’s worth it,”she added.

Joshua Sherwood, fr., scans his student ID card as he passes through the lunch line with Doris Dancer in the background. Students can scan their ID cards so meals will be automatically charged to their accounts. Scanning the cards helps the lines move faster according to Mrs. Dancer.
