LUNCH: USDA reimburses school district $3 per meal served Continued from 1A The USDA reimburses the school district $3 per meal served, and each meal costs the district about $1.70. The rest is used to cover overhead expenses. Some people see the program as a middle class entitlement, but Concannon said many families in those high-poverty districts made just barely enough money not to qualify for free or re- duced lunch but still strug- gled to make ends meet. “The rationale behind that is to simplify the administra- tive process for school staff and to feed those students,” he said. Concannon said CEP schools across the country are reporting fewer absent or late students and fewer trips WR WKH QXUVH¶V RI¿FH ZLWK D headache or stomachache. “We want kids not to be struggling in school because they’re hungry,” he said. The program is also de- signed to cut down on child- hood obesity, he said. The USDA meals, with a whole grain, protein, fruit, vege- table and one percent milk, are often healthier than meals that parents send with their children. Concannon said the USDA has been working with universities to study what factors lead to students making the healthiest school lunch decisions. The layout of the lunchroom makes a difference, they found. Stu- dents also take more fruits and vegetables from the sal- ad bar if there is better light- ing, if they have more time to eat and if they eat lunch after recess instead of before. He said at elementary schools they also found that colorful signs naming choices “Gameday grapes” or “Champion Caesar sal- Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Young singer opens legislative session By KATHY ANEY East Oregonian While most of her peers sat in class on Monday morning, Nattalie Gray sang to the Ore- gon House of Representatives. The 11-year-old stood behind a microphone at the front of the chamber and performed “God Bless the U.S.A.” to open the legisla- tive session. Nattalie stayed on pitch as the 60 represen- tatives watched, one getting a picture with a smartphone. House Speaker Tina Kotek looked on from the head of the chamber with a smile. Rep. Greg Smith, R-Hep- pner, had invited Nattalie to sing after hearing her belt out the national anthem at SENTIMENTAL B a ck J O U R N E Y to th e 4 0 s When: Friday, February 27th • 6-9 pm Where: Hamley’s Slickfork Saloon What: • no-host bar • hors d’oeuvres • silent auction • music by the PHS Jazz Band • dressing up optional but encouraged Cost: $40 pre-registration • $50 at-the-door Tickets: Armchair Books & Heritage Station Museum a Heppner football game played at Hermiston’s Ken- nison Field. Smith said the song choice was hers, though Smith asked her to sing “something patriotic.” Nattalie sings the way most people breathe, said her mother, Heidi, who watched the performance with Bruce from a side aisle that runs DORQJVLGHWKHPDLQÀRRU “She sings when she brushes her teeth,” Heidi said. “She’s been singing since birth — she came out singing.” The Armand Larive stu- dent isn’t a member of her school choir, but studies voice and is the youngest mem- ber of the song team for her church youth group at New Hope Church.
