APS: Schools running out of lunch?

[Anonymous]

Have your children's schools run out of lunch this week? Apparently demand for the free lunch has been very high and DS' school has run out of lunch by the final lunch period every day this week

I hope free lunch stays forever so more kids take advantage of it. We have the financial resources to bring lunch to school but one less thing to worry about has been so nice. My kid is finally eating at school now that it's become more norm.

Free lunch is popular. Whodathunk?

My DS complained his lunch was frozen yesterday. We’re at a school without a working cafeteria.

+1. And my kids are exposed to foods outside our regular fare.

I think free lunch is great too but I think APS needs to get more food

Yeah I think it’s become “cool” because my 4th grader is getting it for the first time in years. He’s also at a school without a working cafeteria

My kid is at Drew and ran out of the lunch he preferred, but he had an alternate lunch. In his class, he says everyone picks up breakfast and half to 2/3 gets lunch.

Did it run out of lunch or run out of their preferred choice?

It ran out and the children were served frozen food because the cafeteria did not have time to prepare anything I guess

ATS, Key and Innovation don’t have kitchens right now. They aren’t expecting to finish until late October or November.

In previous years both APS elementary schools I worked in took a lunch count each morning so they knew how many lunches to make. I notice I am not asked for this number any longer.

I love the free lunch! It takes something off my list when we get ready and it doesn't single out the kids who might need it.

The Wakefield listserv today is full of parents reporting that their kids are not getting enough lunch, food runs out, no sides offered, etc. Anyone else hearing this still at other schools? Know what's going on?
