We had a BUSINESS MEETING today, ya'll!!

We invited Dr. Moehlann and our cafeteria friends Ms. Terry and Ms. Judy in to watch our video and propose some changes in our cafeteria.
We also shared this with the teachers to show all other classes.

We asked for change in three areas...

1. no more straws OR reusable straws

2. no more disposable trays (they are only used on pizza days and Lucky Tray days).  

Ask you kiddo about our solution for Lucky Tray day!

3.  school purchased Concord reusable water bottles!  Think cute swag!!

We were heard and look forward to pricing water bottles for Dr. Moehlmann, and hearing back from our cafeteria friends on our other two action items!!

IT FELT SO GOOD TO BE PART OF CHANGE FOR GOOD!!!
