Also, I think the first order of business
should be living wages/work options, then
affordable housing.

To the Editor:
Skyler Nash wrote a letter to the editor in
the August 23 Nugget criticizing the current
federal school lunch program. We appreciate
the motivation the author has for wanting our
children to be provided with the highest qual-
ity food. Skyler Nash and the Sisters commu-
nity may be pleased to learn about our schools’
nutrition services.
In the Sisters School District, our children
receive:
• A daily salad bar with fresh fruits and
vegetables, in part from the local farm, Seed
to Table. In addition, the elementary students
learn to plant and harvest their own food.
• Nutrition education, presented by
AmeriCorps Volunteers, including tasting
opportunities, where kids are presented with
fruits and veggies they might never have had
the chance to try.
• Guest parents teaching traditional cook-
ing, i.e. last year’s fresh tortilla-making with
students.
• Freshly made meals such as spaghetti
with meatballs, pizzas, breads and hand-rolled
burritos are served. Students are given the
choice of nonfat or 1 percent milk, with choc-
olate milk being available only on Fridays.
Great care goes into ordering the freshest food
the District can afford.
We can always improve the service we pro-
vide. Nevertheless, Sisters schools are work-
ing thoughtfully to provide the freshest, most
nutritious meals possible for our kids.

To the Editor:
For the first time in my life I am consider-
ing buying a gun.
I grew up in an Army and law-enforcement
family so I am accustomed to weapons and
their safe handling, and yet I have always felt
uneasy about having one in my own home.
Why complicate things? We neighbors will
look out for each other in the event of an emer-
gency, right?
My uneasiness has slowly shifted in the last
few months. Lately, I have seen signs appear-
ing in front of businesses and homes that
begin, “In our America...” These signs are dis-
turbing to me. Is it the vacuous virtue-signal-
ing in lieu of actual fellowship that is unnerv-
ing, or is it the divisive suggestion that more
than one America exists? I used to believe
that we could rely on each other if things get
tough. Now I am not so sure.
A CBS lawyer’s tweeted response to the
Las Vegas shooting, “I’m actually not even
sympathetic bc (sic) country music fans often
are Republican gun toters (sic),” feels like
a more honest rendering of our community
cohesiveness these days. And that leaves me
asking which America will consider my fam-
ily worthy of mutual support in the event of a
disaster? I am not waiting to find out.

To the Editor:
Thanks to the generous spirit of the Sisters
community, more than 1,800 pairs of solar
eclipse glasses have been shipped off to
Astronomers Without Borders for distribution
to schoolchildren in Southeast Asia and South
America for the 2019 eclipses.
The collection was a joint effort by Sisters
Science Club, Friends of the Sisters Library,
and the Sisters Library. Find out more about
the national Eclipse Glasses Donation Program
