In Sibley East Junior High Principal Steve Harter’s administrative notes to the Sibley East School Board on Tuesday night, Jan. 17, he wrote that he would like to implement a closed lunch program.  

Harter wrote, “There are several reasons for this plan.  I really think if we want our food service program to (be) successful we need to have students here to eat the meals; healthy meals, not pop and fast food.  Another reason is I really want the home room/AO time to become an academic period; a time for studying and learning.  Maybe the main reason I am interested in closing the lunch hour is simply because of the safety of our students. I do not think it is good for our students to be driving anywhere to eat lunch.
