Mary McPhee

... Mary McPhee, nutrition services director, with our weekly update. Please print, fill out and bring in your free-and-reduced application as soon as possible. This week, we got three new applications. This will help fund many, many things in our district for next year, so if you could please do that. This is your weekly reminder to fill out the free-and-reduced application.

Did you know that since January 4th, we have served 25,034 meals to all the students in our district? That's 7,881 breakfasts and 17,153 lunches.

This week's shout-out is to the staff at Highland Elementary. 30% of all breakfasts served daily in our district come out of Highland Elementary. Yesterday alone, Lisa Reichert and her staff served 203 breakfasts. She delivered them to the classroom, and when the kids got there to start their day, they had a fresh and ready breakfast to start the day off right. So we want to just thank Lisa and her staff for starting the day off right for our kids at Highland Elementary.

Thanks a lot. See you next week.

A conversation with the Mini-Mayor of Sunlight Mountain

So April, tell me... Let's start with being the mini-mayor. Why did you want to become the mini-mayor of Sunlight?

April:

Because Sunlight is my favorite mountain and, hmm, my favorite one is Ute.


Speaker 2:

Oh, Ute run is a really good run. I like that one too. What's your favorite thing about Sunlight Mountain?


April:

Hmm. Skiing.


Speaker 2:

One of the things that you said you wanted to do as mini-mayor is that you wanted to do a coat drive. Why is that important to you?


April:

Just in case people don't wear a coat, and they would be cold and get the chill and probably get ill.


Speaker 2:

What are you asking people to do to help you with your coat drive?


April:

I'm asking them to put things out so people can get the coat. One of them is at Clark's Market [inaudible 00:02:40] and one of them is here. I don't know where.


Speaker 2:

At FirstBank in Glenwood Springs.


April:

Mm.


Speaker 2:

And the Western Garfield County Chamber of Commerce in Rifle.


April:

Mm, yay.


Speaker 2:

I know. There's four of them. So people should be able to find a location to drop off a coat, huh?


April:

Oh, and then we're... I got some papers, and it's about my coat drive, so we're going to hang those up in our neighborhood.


Speaker 2:

Do you have a dream of how many coats that you would like to collect?


April:

One million.


Speaker 2:

A million coats? That's a lot of coats. That would help a lot of people, wouldn't it?


April:

Yeah. I want people to bring us lots of coats.

April, I am so happy to meet you. I am honored that the mini-mayor of Sunlight Mountain gave me some time to talk to her, so I thank you very much.


April:

You're welcome.
