Oakhill Lunch Survey

At the end of the year we sent out a questionaire to the students and asked for their feedback on what they liked, didn’t like, want to see more of, and of course would like to see less of.  We value their comments and strive to meet the needs of the students, in preparing healthy delicious meals each and everyday of the school year.  And while we know we can’t please everyone, everyday, we strive to make the students as a whole………happy.  Because with Bistro Kids…………..healthy kids learn better!

We posed the question “What foods would you like to see more of”? And some of the foods were:

Burritos, chicken fried steak, sloppy joes, breakfast, yogurt, mashed potatos, cheese sticks, BLT’s, omlets, lasagna, veggie pizzas, cheesy mashed potatos, sweet potato fries, strawberries, meatloaf, smoothies, watermelon, bagels, clementines, tofu, pasta, fishsticks, crab, BBQ,  brownies, cookies, mangos, and meatball subs among the many items. 

And while we do alot of those items now, we certainly want to see what we can do to bring some of these items into the students daily lunches.

Some of the foods students said they would like to see less of are as follows:

Jello, veggies, deviled eggs and “some pizzas”
