for Newkirk Public Schools.

I want to give the students a
quality food product, Steve Stanley, superintendent of Newkirk
Public Schools, said. I want
to offer both quantity and quality that meet federal guidelines
while keeping the price down,
and Keystone Foodservice meets
my expectations. Feeding our
students an appropriate, nutritious and well-balanced meal will
affect their learning in a positive
way.
Keystone will begin serving
breakfast and lunch to the students at Newkirk Public Schools
when students return for the start
of classes on August 12th. Lunch
includes a full salad bar, stocked
daily with fresh fruits and vegetables. Free and reduced prices are
available for students who qualify, and the meals will remain at
the same price.
Our goal is to provide healthy
meals that kids will actually eat,
said Josh Sanders, CEO for Keystone Foodservice. We do that by
listening to the kids and by continually introducing new foods.
When it comes to a healthy diet,
kids and adults have this in common: variety is key.
Keystones menu offerings
include homemade chicken enchiladas, honey-baked ham and
grilled hamburgers made from
lean ground beef. Main courses
are accompanied by offerings

BECAUSE HE CARES,
WE CARE

by Mike Ball, President TAHC

Can you believe the 20 MPH flashing light is on already? Make
sure your eyes are peeled for our precious kiddos crossing the roads
around the school and town. They are our future. That is unless you
can afford a $220 fine that the Tonkawa Police will gladly give you.
This month the TAHC teamed up with the Heart in the Park group
providing the music for the Blue Moon walk. Perrys Chad Harell
crooned a bunch of great country songs to the delight of the crowd.
Booked for two hours, he played for over 3 1/2 non-stop. He even kept
playing in the dark after the light timer went off. But Ken Crowder
came to the rescue and reset the timer returning light to the concert.
This month we will team up again with the Heart in the Park crew to
provide a music performer, yet to be identified, at the next full moon
celebration on Saturday Aug 29. Come on down and enjoy a wonderful night under the stars, in the moonlight.
Quickly approaching is our Second Annual Chair-ity event at TS
Fork to be held on the evening of Sept 17. We will feature a select
number of chairs that are hand painted by local artists to be silently
auctioned off to the highest bidder. Also, as a new addition for this
year we will live auction a couple of suitcases filled with Oklahoma
weekend trips and other goodies donated by local merchants. Enter-

including freshly steamed vegetables and hand-cut sweet potato

Study after study has shown
that kids who eat a balanced diet
perform better in school, so we
take the work we do seriously,
Sanders said. We want the kids
to leave the cafeteria full and
ready to focus on the day. Our
meals dont just taste good
theyre designed to serve as fuel
for kids in the classroom.
Keystone got its start providing meal service at fraternity and
sorority houses on college campuses in Norman and Stillwater.
The company began serving its
first public school at the request
of one of its vendors. Today,
Keystone serves more than 55
schools in Oklahoma, and the
company continues to grow.
There are some great school
administrators in Oklahoma who
truly want to do whats best for
their students, and they are willing to think outside the box when
it comes to nutrition, Sanders
said. We are proud to partner
with Newkirk Public Schools,
and we are grateful to the school
board and the administration for
their willingness to try something new to benefit the kids they
serve. We are already getting
great feedback about the food we
are serving here, and we are looking forward to always cooking up
something great for these kids.

Hey Everyone.
It was a crazy first week at THS but I can honestly say Im happy
to be back. Can you believe kids born in 2000 are now walking the
halls of high school?! That makes me feel old. Although my baby
brother is a good four to five inches taller than I am hes still a lower
classman!! Haha! This is the first year weve been in the same hall
together.
Congratulations to the Lady Buc softball team for pulling two wins
this week. You guys rock! I look forward to watching you ladies
whoop some booty on my favorite kind of diamond this season. With
that being said, My Buc of the Week is Miss Linzee Wittmer! She
plays shortstop and man is she good at it.
Thats all for this week ladies and gents.
Until Next Time.
