“There's less plate waste with new standards. The kids love the new meals. Kids are discerning and appreciate the better foods.”
- Principal Sherrell Hobbs

“You've got to be great in your diet. Your body's like a car. If you put junk in your car you won't go far. I need to fuel up with milk, fruits and vegetables and protein.”
- Detroit Lion Nate Burleson
