Sixth-graders Jack Borum, left, and Brian Lugbill, center, wait in the hot-lunch line while Emilia Long, right, squeezes by at Southern Hills Middle School on Friday, a transition day for sixth-graders. Most elementary students get hot lunch, but some of the more affluent children can afford to buy a la carte items — making the low-income children stand out. The district is working to eliminate a la carte items and blend lunch lines districtwide so children receiving free and reduce meal prices won’t stand out from students paying full price.
