In an effort to generate interest in the school’s lunch program, the school has rebranded its cafeteria. In addition to a new name — it’s now the Regal Eagle Café — the facility offers a variety of new lunch possibilities.
“We tried to change the culture of school lunch, providing kids with a variety of options,” Principal Kim Purvis said.
On Monday the school hosted a ribbon cutting to celebrate the cafeteria’s new image. Students were greeted with a sign above the entrance to the Regal Eagle Café as well as festive background music and a number of new lunch options. Instead of the usual two choices available to those buying school lunches, the cafeteria now offers seven options. The side of the serving counter that previously hadn’t been used now stores a selection of “grab and go” lunches developed by Odtis Collins, the school system’s food services director.

Ok. I guess I'm an idiot. How can you have "pre-prepared food". It's either "prepared" or "un-prepared". Pre-prepared is UN-PREPARED!!! Once it's prepared....it's PREPARED. This is what's working in our school system? Wow.
He said "at the end of the day, this is what kids asked for". Why is everything "at the end of the day"? Doesn't anyone ever want anything at the "beginning of the day?" Everyone always says "at the end of the day"....for everything. That phrase is worn out.
4:35. Yes exactly...WOW. Can't believe you actually took the time to write that.
Omaha steaks has great filet mignon, this should definitely be served to the children in a tea garden next to the $1,000,000+ athletic field
for a school with less than 300 students

Are you George Carlin - back from the dead?
It's a good start. Maybe in 5-10 year the shore schools will catch up with the rest of the civilized world. Many public schools have been offering such things for years including salad bars, made to order pizzas, subs, sushi and pasta stations. When I was being schooled in somersets we had muskrat monday, Toldya it was squirrel tuesday and fried rabbit friday.
I wish he WAS back from the dead. People today could learn quite a bit from him. I learned more about the English language and common sense from him than from any school. Thank God he lives on via YouTube.
I usually just opened my brown paper bag and ate the lunch that I made for myself in the morning before walking to school for a mile.
Mom had juice and milk covered for us in the morning, but it was up to us to make our own breakfast, too. Bacon and eggs or cereal, toast and jelly.
What's the fuss all about?
Everything is already cooked in Princess Anne, all they do is heat up the prepackaged government food! Hell they don't even wash the fruit, the stickers are still on pears & apples-so lazy can't even cut up an orange for my pre-k grandson?? It amazes me that it's somehow more cost efficient to use styrofoam and plastic than to wash a tray and some silverware? They want kids to be more eco friendly and healthy, not even remotely practicing what they teach!! Princess Anne schools are just like the low income it serves, getting every grant for free and spending on heavy admin while their kids suffer-sound like a familiar story? Piss poor, I tell ya!!
Agreed 745...tv that got a few channels, NO cell phones; NO Al Gore and his internet; whatever slop they provided or we took for lunch. Sushi Bars??? potato stations??? Talk about cupcakes and snowflakes our children have become.
Oh yeah, we had RECESS and NO teacher workdays either!
9:18 Yep, see how adjusted you turned out living in the past and hating life in an area that time has forgotten except for the few educated people that come here to either work at Perdue or SU. Better bring in some more wood for the stove and fill up the kerosene lanterns.
I remember it well,,,no heat or air conditioning.,, didn't even have desks.,,stood all day and wrote on animal hides because we didn't have paper. Of course we walked to school, barefooted, 5 miles uphill both ways. Drank water and ate plain bread. That's it, nothing else. Even changed channels on the TV with needle nosed pliers after standing on one foot and moving the aluminum foil on the antenna to get a signal. We didn't have no stinking remote. Ah, memories.
