New Outlook on FRA Lunch

Senior Jason Lorgin, vegetarian, has continually wasted food in order to eat a vegetarian meal from the school cafeteria. With the new changes coming to FRA’s cafeteria, Lorgin can now eat a lunch sufficient to his average diet.

FRA Student Council has worked with Principal Mr. Harris and Nutritionist Jane Anders to compile a menu of vegetarian foods as well as new low calorie foods which include salad and fruit bars for the cafeteria coming this fall.

Cafeteria prices to be cut 10% beginning next semester. Food Service Director Shirley Waxon said, “We hope the lower prices will attract more students to the cafeteria for their noon meal.”

Loring said, “I’m really glad to see the additional meal options coming to the cafeteria. It is good to see the cafeteria staff being sensitive to the needs of all students.”

With the help of FRA Student Council President, Julia Farnsworth, many other changes will also take place in the cafeteria. A mural will be painted over the summer, continuous music will be played, and the old tables are being replaced by restaurant style booths.

Julia Farnsworth, Student Council president; said “Student Council has been working for many of these changes for two to three years. We were finally able to reach a compromise with the administration. We hope these changes make for a more enjoyable lunch hour for the students. We also hope students will be more productive in their afternoon classes as a result of a more relaxed meal.”
