Brookesmith ISD issued the following press release Thursday morning:

Brookesmith ISD is a small, rural PK-12 school with 148 local students. Food Service Director Alline Bolt and Head Cook Terri Heard prepare and serve approximately 750 lunch meals and 740 breakfast meals each week for the school and 325 afternoon snacks for the Kindergarten thru 5th grade. These two ladies are shown receiving flowers  in appreciation for their outstanding service to the Brookesmith school community. 

In honor and recognition of National School Lunch Week Oct. 10-14, Ms. Nelson’s second grade class helped with food preparation  by giving them a hand with today’s meal, which is shucked corn, pizza, a veggie cup and pears. Research shows that children  who take part in the growing, processing and preparation of food and vegetables while young tend to have healthier diets as they  mature.
