改良學校午餐建議書

來源：巧巧簡歷站 2.72W

五年級的孩子吃到難吃的學校午餐時會怎麼做？
禮拜五，寶寶回來跟我説，“媽媽，我的Proposal（建議書）交上去。這是複印件。” 是給校長，副校長的一封信。我以為是作業。先翻翻有多長。一眼看到最後的五個名字及簽名。有一個是她的好朋友，但不同班。我説，“你們現在的小組作業還有跨班合作的。” 寶説，“不是作業。” 我説，“什麼叫不是作業。” 寶有點不耐煩了，“不是作業，就是我跟朋友做的。不是老師佈置的。” 我，“你説交了，交給了誰。” 寶，“校長，副校長，我們老師。” 我大吃一驚。“誰起的頭？“ 寶説，”我。“ 我，”誰寫的？“ 寶，”主要是我，其他人幫忙修改和打字。” 我，“你是怎麼樣發動另外的4個人的。” 寶，“我就是跟她們説學校午餐這麼難吃，又吃不飽，我們要作點什麼。然後給她們分派任務。” 我有點佩服了，“她們就這樣去做了。” 寶，“沒有，比如xxx寫一部分的，她沒寫，我就全寫了，yyy本來應該打全文的，也沒做。那我説，要把名字放進來，xxx打第一段，yyy打最後一段。她們還拖到最後一刻才做。”
我已經很佩服她了。我五年級的時候在幹嘛啊。不説五年級，大學食堂這麼難吃。我們有調侃，有抱怨，有憤怒，就是沒有去真的做什麼。
何況全文寫的動之以情，曉之以理，誘之以利。雖然有些地方想法有點幼稚。

親愛的鮑校長和段副校長：

當你們收到這封信時，我們可能已經不在這所學校讀書了，但我們對在此成長和學習了六年的學校的愛，卻不會褪色。我們希望為未來的學生有更好的環境做點事情：提議改善學校午餐的質量。從兒童和家長的角度來看，學校午餐可以改進的地方有：食物不健康，份量太少，和午餐價格不合理。

首先，有些午餐選擇不健康。例如，孩子們目前可以選蘋果或者曲奇餅。大多數孩子會選擇曲奇餅。這會給在美國正在上升的肥胖率雪上加霜。如何讓孩子做健康的選擇是我們想要解決的問題，雖然時不時能吃點喜歡吃的也挺好，比如説，間或可以有應節曲奇餅乾，酸奶等。日常供應的水果和蔬菜要選新鮮甜美的，使他們比曲奇餅等含糖食物更誘人和更好吃。這樣在菜單上變點花樣可以讓兒童品嚐到健康和富有營養的食物，更有助於他們發育和成長。吃適當的和飽肚子的食物有助於他們的學業進步，從而提升我們學校的評級。另外，許多家長因為太多油膩而不讓自己的孩子吃學校午餐。如果學校提供的是健康的食品，將會有更多的家長讓自己的孩子吃學校午餐，從而提高利潤。

除了不健康的食物選擇，另一導致午餐危機的原因是食物的份量。有時學生午飯後，還是肚子空空，無法專心上課，或認真學習。許多學生要靠這頓午餐撐到6或7點鐘。如果他們吃不飽，就可能會向父母抱怨，改為自帶午餐。

價錢是學校午餐的一個很重要的因素，太貴沒人會買，太便宜又不能保證食物質量和新鮮度。重要的是價格適中並有營養。有些家長不讓學生吃學校午餐的原因，是要價2.75美元一份，僅有牛奶，一個主菜，兩，三個配菜的午餐不夠健康。如果更多父母首肯，更多學生會買學校午餐，學校也會賺更多的錢。另一項建議是自種果園。學校也可以在花園裏，不種花而改種蔬菜，從而把新鮮的蔬果用於午餐。

雖然新鮮的蔬果不如加工食品便宜，而且增加食物量會提高成本，但是改善學校午餐，能讓學校成為一個更快樂，更健康的社區。總而言之，我們五位斯特梅爾的學生認為提高學校午餐質量，有助於提高客户的滿意度。肥膩，小量，和價格過高的食物，可換成營養，飽肚，和價格合理的午餐。如果這些要求能做到，午餐時間將更令人愉悦。

你誠摯的：

媽媽對寶説的是：

1. 能夠做到不抱怨，提建議，世界上從來不缺乏抱怨指責的人，卻少有做實事，尋找解決方法的人.

2. 雖然你自己做了大部分工作，但不凸顯自己，標榜“xxx領導”，而是沒有頭銜，大家平等。做到團結同學。

3. 可以改進的地方有幾點，學校午餐的運作是這樣的。。。。。。。

Dear Principal Mrs. Boyce and Vice Principal Mrs. Duarte,

When you receive this letter, we may not be attending Stocklmeir anymore, but our love for the school that helped us grow and learn for six years hasn't faded. We hope that we can make a difference for the future students by improving the hot lunches. From the childrens' and parents' point of view some things that would help if they are improved are: unhealthy food choices, small portions, and hot lunch price.

First of all, some of the hot lunch choices are unhealthy. For example, the kids have a choice between an apple and cookie. Most kids will choose the cookie against the apple. This adds to America’s already rising obesity rate. Making these types of decisions are what we want to solve, but a little treat once in awhile is good. Holiday cookies, yogurt, etc. can be in the menu occasionally. Fruits and veggies must be fresh and sweet to make them tempting and better than sugary foods like cookies. Putting in a little twist to the menu can help the childrens taste healthy, nourishing foods that help them develop and grow. Eating the proper and filling foods is a great help in supporting their academic achievement and help our school’s rating. Also, many parents don’t let their children get hot lunch because it has too much oil and grease in it. With healthier foods, more parents will allow their children to get hot lunch, raising the profit.

In addition to bad choices, another problem leading up to this hot lunch crisis is the portion of food each child is given. Sometimes the students are left with an empty stomach after lunch and cannot focus on their class work or not put as much effort as they should. Many students rely on the lunch to fill them up until 6 or7 pm. If they don't get enough to eat, they might complain to their parent and bring their own meal instead.

Money is a large factor in school hot lunches. If they are too expensive, then no one will buy them. But if they are too cheap, the foods are not as fresh and are lower quality. It is important that the prices are just right, and they are worth their nutritious is why some parents do not let their students get hot lunch; the foods are not healthy enough for the price of $2.75 for milk, a main course, and two or more side dishes. More students will buy more hot lunches because their parents approve of it and the school will make more money too. Another recommendation is to grow an orchard for fruits. Also, the school can grow veggies in the garden instead of flowers, and put the fresh into the lunches.

Though fresh produce is not as cheap as processed foods, and adding more food costs more money, improving the hot lunches will make the school a happier, healthier community. Overall, we, five Stocklmeir students, think that the hot lunches can be improved to raise customer satisfaction. The fattening, tiny, and overpriced foods,replaced with nutritious, filling, and reasonably priced foods for everyday lunches. If these requests were fulfilled, it would make lunchtime a more joyous place

Sincerely,
