Feeding the masses

What is a good lunch meal that would feed about 100 primary kids? Obviously budgeting is the issue…

You can do a bag lunch very cheaply. You can do cut-out sandwiches (use a cookie cutter to cut a shape out of the center of the top piece of bread. The filling then shows through, so if you do pbj and use strawberry jam and a flower cutout, for example, you get a red flower sandwich. Use the cutouts for other small sandwiches.) Then get packaged cookies, small water bottles, etc. from Sam’s Club. They can all be packed ahead of time and should average about $.50-$1.00 per lunch based on your choices. You can also do pizza and veggie sticks pretty easily and inexpensively. Or do “bite-sized” foods and let children choose: pretzels, cheese cubes, ham cubes, baby carrots, grapes, apple wedges, etc. They can be pre-measured in dixie cups and the children can take what they want. There’s less waste because the kids choose their own food.
