Hungry, Hungry Kiddos

A Message from the Food Service Team at JCB:

As you all know, good nutrition is key to your child’s academic success, and the FoodService Team works very hard devising nutritious and appealing menus each day.

We have noticed a good number of students purchasing a meal only to discard most of it.  Not only does this waste your money, but it also has a domino effect.  The students are hungry during the day, and many students are sent to the nurse with complaints of headaches and stomach aches. 

While the Nurse has a limited supply of snacks on hand, those are generally intended for our students with health concerns. We cannot provide food for students who do not bring a lunch or snacks and choose not to eat the school lunch.

Over the years, we have found it helpful if parents review the menu with their children so see what days they would like to purchase a meal and what days they would prefer a lunch from home.  Menus can be found both online under the School Information tab or in the vestibule of James C Bush School.  Several teachers also print them out and send them home in student backpacks.


If  you need assistance or have any questions regarding the menus, please feel free to email Anna Wolk, our FoodService Coordinator at: awolk@johnsburg12.org.  She will reply typically within 24 hours.
