At Decatur High School, New ‘Lunch My Way’ Café A Big Hit

BERLIN – As students at Stephen Decatur High School filtered into the cafeteria and through the lunch line Tuesday, things were noticeably different.

The normal lunch trays and food the students were accustomed to seeing were replaced with Chinese take-out containers and a plethora of Asian cuisine options. A sign out front proudly displayed the words “Lunch My Way.”

“The biggest thing the kids are really excited about today, or what the buzz is about, is having ‘Lunch My Way,’” said Odtis Collins, coordinator of food services for Worcester County Public Schools. “Students can actually go in and put together their own meal.”

Since the beginning of the school year, Collins said he and cafeteria managers have been working to rebrand school lunches. The goal, he said, was to give students more options.

“One of our biggest goals was to increase the variety of nutritional foods that we offer to our students,” Collins said. “I think we all determined that at the beginning of the year.”

Trump has nothing to do with this

Schools in civilized areas have been doing this for 10+ years. We had sushi stations twice a month, pizza stations, hoagie stations, Thai food, taco/burrito stations.

Better than the twigs and ketchup that Michelle wanted to feed them.

Too many words in the post about schools that have had this for 10+ years?

My son just graduated from Decatur and said the food was horrible. He always took his lunch. This actually looks like a step in the right direction!

6:24 You must live a sad life because you don't even want to give President Trump credit where credit it due. You are probably just a dumb liberal who thinks everything Obummer did was great and even if President Trump were to Cure Cancer tomorrow, you would think it was a bad thing just because it came from President Trump.

If you don't like our President, you can always go to Canada. It's probably better for people like you anyway. The Rest of Us are going to be along for a Great Ride as President Trump Makes America Great Again!
