And according to Uplands Elementary School Principal, Nancy Nelson, the dedication shown by its organ- izers, the Uplands Parent Ad- visory Group, makes it unique. Sue Casey, a member of the Advisory Group, says the pro- gram began last October when a . number of the group’s members decided they wanted a hot lunch program at Uplands. But it had to be done properly — the meals had to offer a variety of hot, nutritious foods at a_ price parents could afford. So with that concept in mind and a school kitchen to work from, a group of five parents began a program that would soon be rated ‘‘first class”. Ata cost of only a $1.50 per meal Uplands students could have a well balanced ‘‘homemade’’ lunch, delivered right to their classroom desks. And every meal was different.

Nelson says the real uni- queness of the program is the dedication of the volunteers. It’s a real “‘full meal concept’’, she says, and it really shows what a well organized, and well motivated Parents Advisory Group can do. Nelson said the number of | hours put in by the volunteers is ‘“tincredible’’. She says that for each meal, they first plan a menu and then come into the school to collect the money, sort the orders, make up 4 shopping list, buy the groceries — and She adds that Canada Safeway, MacDonald’s, the Piz- za Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken also helped the pro- gram become a reality by offer- ing the organizers special dis- counts, ~ take place bike riding, tions.
