Another mother with another 4 year old from the same elementary school in North Carolina came forward with a similar story about public schools rejecting home made lunches. The same teacher is involved.
In the story making headlines last week, North Carolina school officials said it was a misunderstanding when a preschooler’s homemade lunch was sent home for not meeting nutritional standards.
In late January, 2012 Diane Zambrano sent her daughter to school with a salami and cheese sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. Her 4-year-old daughter, Jazlyn, is in the same West Hoke Elementary School class as the little girl who made national news last week. That child was sent to school with a home made turkey and cheese sandwich.
When Zambrano picked daughter Jazlyn up from she was told by Jazlyn’s teacher that the homemade lunch did not meet the necessary guidelines. Jazlyn was sent to the cafeteria.
The lunch Zambrano’s daughter got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk. “She never eats breakfast or lunch at the school,†said her mother.
