The Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District was awarded $180,018 in federal and state grant funding for its revamped school lunch program that enhances both the nutritional quality of the district’s cafeteria menus and its science curriculum. Students have been eating up the change, and the school district said more than 1,000 students at LGHS and more than 700 students at SHS are eating school lunches every day. The funding was awarded because the school district made “significant improvements” to the nutritional quality of its school meals, according to a press release. She worked with the the school booster clubs to raise more than $100,000 for the contract, which started in the 2019-20 school year, and for upgrades to the school kitchen. “We have one Ethiopian woman in the kitchen, and so we started doing Ethiopian meals, and, I mean, the kids – they love them.”
