Some of you may remember my staff rant last year about the issues of food availability in C lunch. Those 475 words must have gotten a point across, because I received a response I was not expecting: our cafeteria manager, Teresa Hendricks, spent a class period listening to the “Orb” staff’s ideas on ways to improve school lunches.

Since this conversation, I have noticed that my fellow C lunch students no longer struggle with shortages of food. While some lines occasionally run out of food, this does not seem to be the widespread problem it once was. Additionally, I recently learned that it is acceptable to request a vegetarian version of certain dishes (such as the Home Cooking pasta bake). Ms. Hendricks noted that students need only ask for something if it has not been set out; if there is any left, the cafeteria staff will be glad to serve it.

I would like to thank the cafeteria staff for listening to our concerns and for making adjustments wherever possible.
