Rich Superintendent Dale Lamborn has initiated a news column in the Rich School District website. http://www.richschool.org
Positive Impacts is to inform parents and citizens of Rich County of the many things that are happening quietly in the schools that are improving the student's school experience. Lamborn has invited staff members to recognize other staff members work by posting articles on the district home page.
The latest article talks about the extra efforts the school lunch providers have gone to help a newly diagnosed child with type 1 diabetes.
"A couple of months ago one of our students was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It has been a huge learning curve for all of us involved. The lunch ladies have jumped right on board and gone out of their way to accommodate this student. Every day for breakfast and lunch they have a paper set out and ready that has all the food options and carb counts for this student. This makes it so easy for her teachers to count her carbs and get her insulin ready.
It cuts down on so much time we would otherwise have to spend every morning and afternoon doing ourselves. If the main meal isn’t something this student wants to eat they provide her with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead. I have been AMAZED at their kindness and efficiency with this
difficult situation. We are SO lucky to have such an amazing food service staff at SRE. Thank You!"
