Shawnee Students Share Lunch with Huron Fire Department
Around Town
The Huron Firefighters along with the students of Shawnee Elementary School enjoyed a localized meal on Tuesday during the “Ohio – The Heart of Our Lunch Day”. This was one day during National School Lunch Week that took place from October 10th through 14th. The theme of this year’s national school lunch observation was “School Lunch – Let’s Grow Healthy”. When combined with Fire Prevention Week (October 10th – 15th) Sue Whitaker, Food Service Director for Huron City School decided it made sense to design a meal to meet all the needs of the different observations, therefore serving the “Ohio – The Heart of Our Lunch” meal in the red plastic firefighter’s helmets. This marks the twelfth year Lt. Paul Hasenmeier and his for the elementary students daughter, Kylie, enjoy their “All of Huron to be served their Ohio” lunch together. lunch on this special day

During National School Lunch Week, Huron City Schools joined fourteen other area districts in celebrating their second annual “Ohio – The Heart of Our Lunch Day”. The purpose of the “Ohio – The Heart of Our Lunch Day” is to showcase items that are either grown or processed locally in Ohio “National School Lunch Week is a great time to offer our All Ohio Lunch and celebrate with our Firefighters as well”, stated Sue. “It’s amazing to see all those red hats in our lunchroom. On that day we have our own red hat society!”

Presenting a strong, financially solvent organization can attract new development partnerships needed to stabilize local revenues without the introduction of new taxation.” Over the past ten years the city has reduced its total workforce, managed to curb the costs of expensive benefits programs and looked regionally to enhance service delivery through local partnerships, he said. “The recent audit report combined with an upgraded bond rating is one component of the superior quality service the city wants to pass on to the community. We set this as a goal a year ago and I am extremely proud of the work the staff has committed to achieve this distinction.”
