Dear David:

I think a good way to encourage community investment & an increased enrolment at McCauley School would be to cannibalize a part of the student space. Turning that space along with the school's cuurent cafeteraia that could become a fulltime, hot meal cafeteria. So in otherwords a 10-12 hour a day facility wherein meals are cooked by the students, chefs, staff & cooks hired from say local restaurants & from say the NAIT culinary arts program.

In this way David, the school becomes not just a receiving school due to attendance going up, but a place where students can get a decent hot meal. As well as their family's. Subsidize it a tad & certainly welcome any & all citizens to come into the school for what I want & what everyone wants: "a hot meal at a fair price."

David I think you can turn this hot meal program into a moneymaker. I think you can turn this into a culinary delight. Students can gain valuable community service points & the members of the community can bond together more as they'll be stopping by IV a quick meal or sitting in and enjoying a communal meal with friends, family & other concerned members of the community & the general public. Plus you can use the profits to keep the school in supplies & equipment.

Regards,

Rory
