Eastside cafeteria to get fresh look
IC-cafe-signWEB
Eastside School officials want to have an upgraded cafeteria with booths like the one unveiled at Irving College this year.
Lunchtime at Eastside School will soon take on a new look as the Board of Education has given the nod to upgrading the facility’s cafeteria.“It will be like Irving College,” said director of nutrition Dr. Sandy Dawes, pointing to the wildly popular design used at the recently upgraded Irving College School. “The difference is that it will reflect Eastside and the community in its décor.”The School Board authorized $81,353 to be used out of the food service budget to pay for the upgrades. Like Irving College, the dining area will include booths, bistro seating with tall tables, and art on the walls, making it look more like a restaurant than a school cafeteria.“Some kids don’t get to go to a nice restaurant so this is like one,” Dawes said.
