Every day at break, the students at Friday Harbor High are able to buy a variety of different snack foods. This includes cookies, chips, granola bars, and even strawberry short cake! Yum!

Deanna Banry and Liz Varvaro:our lunch ladies.

Deanna and Liz are two of the many people who work in the Dining Hall and the kitchen. Deanna is a parent of three students currently attending Friday Harbor High. Liz is a paid employee also; she is always in a cheerful mood.

Bunches of lunches eaten, enjoyed

Did you know, that since the beginning of the school year to Nov. 10, a total of over 10,524 lunches have been sold in our food program? That amounts to almost $22,000 in revenue. Can anyone guess how many lunches we sold last year in this time period?

Hint: It will probably be less.

And, remember guys, there is a great breakfast served for a low price every day and it is really good!

Mission for Nutrition

School Lunch Program was created because during war time the government found that recruits were the victims of poor nutrition. Today there are many people that are the victims of malnutrition globally. With the 66% of America that is overweight we should not be having this problem.

Exercise has a huge role in keeping up a healthy lifestyle. On November 17, 2008 a guest from Spokane showed the Physical Education Teachers and a group of students a new way to keep yourself informed on what you should have as a healthy diet, and how to keep in shape in a fun and educational way.
