Last Thursday, Laura King and I spoke with Eitan Shaul who is the interim director of the Lunch and Learn program In Dimona. Eitan advised us that the program opened on November 1st in all 13 elementary schools and has a total enrollment of 430 children. This year, every school has developed a signature enrichment program that has been added to Lunch and Learn and is funded by the school and the municipality. Every parent met with school personnel and Lunch and Learn staff to discuss their children and the program. An emphasis has been put on nutritious and healthy meals. Plans are being made to assess the program on 2 or 3 occasions during the year.
We will participate in the hiring of a permanent director within the next few weeks. We will be advised of the design of the assessment and we will receive financial reports, copies of contracts and copies of invoices. I believe Lunch and Learn has continued to improve and reflects best practices that have been shared across schools over the years. We should be proud.
Thanks for all of your support.
