I am a concerned parent & I am extremely upset to find out that my child has to eat nachos for lunch !! This is not a well balanced lunch for growing minds & kids !!! My child has even told me that they serve rotten fruit & burnt pizza !! Wow !! I am a single, middle class working mother & when I send my child everyday to get a good education I expect that the school she's attending takes as much care of my child as I do !! School is my kids home away from home & I expect better !!
