Students Provide Feedback About Lunches
Students met with the school’s lunch provider, Quest, to share suggestions and ideas about improving the meals at Sprague. They sampled a variety of food. Then, students shared what they liked and disliked about items such as fish and chips, sweet and sour chicken, and pesto cavatappi. Each school receives input from its students annually to determine what is working well with the lunch meals and where improvements can be made. Overall, students who sampled the food selection rated Quest’s food fairly high. Their least favorite appeared to be fish and chips. Enjoy pictures of students tasting Quest's entrées.
