Committed to making sure that Champlain Valley School District students are not hungry, school food staff have multiplied the number of meals they are produce.
At Champlain Valley Union High School, the lunchroom has gone from putting out 900 meals a day â 200 breakfasts and 700 lunches â before COVID to 3,400 meals a day now, Leo LaForce, food service director, said.
On Wednesdays, meal volume has jumped even more, as workers prepare for those students who learn remotely on Thursdays and Fridays to have sufficient sustenance.
âThe lunchroom workers are heroes,â Bonnie Birdsall, CVSD director of digital communications and communications, said.
The districtâs elementary schools are making meals for the students Monday through Friday, but CVU lunchroom workers have been making food to help food-insecure families get through weekends, LaForce said.
