Good Evening DCHS Parents,
This communication is to share with you information regarding today’s lunch menu. As a result of a mechanical malfunction, the air for the cafeteria kitchen area stopped working. The cooking area became too unbearable to safely require the staff to prepare a hot lunch, therefore students were served the bag lunches.
I assure you that the proper persons have been notified and every attempt to rectify the issue is being taken, and hot lunch will be served the rest of the week. On behalf of THE Dooly County High School, I apologize for any inconvenience.
Respectfully,
Rodney McBride
