District 15 approves 10-cent
increase in school lunch prices
The price of a school lunch in District 15 will slightly increase for the 2015-16 school year due to requirements of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The act requires schools to increase pricing annually to minimize the difference between the cost of a paid lunch and the federal reimbursement received for a free lunch for those who qualify.
"School meals are a great bargain, serving students healthy whole grains, trans-fat free items, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a selection of entrees daily," said Bobbie Desprat, District 15's School Nutrition Services director.
The price changes for the 2015-16 school year are as follows:
|
2014-15
| 2015-16
| |
Elementary Lunch:
|
$2.30
|
$2.40
| |
Junior High Lunch:
|
$2.40
|
$2.50
|

 Camp Invention summer program
brings STEM fun to Kimball Hill Fifty-five students -- many from District 15 schools -- once again converged on Kimball Hill School during the week of June 22 to take part in Camp Invention.
 This weeklong summer program featured a variety of creative, hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education activities that supplemented the instruction the campers received from their respective schools during the regular school year.
"This year, the theme of Camp Invention was 'Illuminate!'" said Amy Molinsky, Kimball Hill assistant principal and Camp Invention director. "Students studied inventors through the years and designed inventions based on these concepts. They studied light and designed a video game with LED lights and added components of their take-a-part items and participated in the design studio. They even raced in teams through a course they made during the KartWheel module, which was an exercise in teamwork and design. We had a great week!"
Camp Invention is a nationally recognized, nonprofit elementary enrichment program backed by the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The camp first began as an outreach program in Akron, Ohio, but has grown to host more than 77,000 students each year at sites all across the country. District 15 has hosted the Camp Invention program since 2004. |
