The program targets those students in grades K-8, and is funded strictly by the federal government. In 1993, Houston County Schools’ overall free or reduced lunch recipients accounted for 35 percent of those students visiting the lunchroom. All Perry schools are currently in the program, having earlier voluntarily agreed to offer the morning meals. Not all Warner Robins' schools, however, are included in the program and are currently being phased into die plan. "It doesn’t matter if someone's driving a Mercedes or a Pinto, that doesn't necessarily mean someone is getting breakfast at home," Johnson said. "A child without breakfast can not learn on an empty stomach." One of the most anticipated plans additionally being implemented into Houston County schools, said Johnson, is one that will allow students to satisfy lunch payments via computers. Johnson said that educators are seeing "a big drop off of those students eligible for free or reduced lunches when reaching the high school level. The reason for the decline, Johnson believes, stems from the fact that by age 14 students are "shy or embarrassed" to acknowledge any breakfast or lunch reduction in front of classmates. The computer system would allow students to prepay, either by cash or federal approval, and receive a card with their own personal number. Currently, three Houston County schools- Perry High, Perry Middle and Warner Robins High School- are assigned to the computer plan on an experimental basis. "It's working out really well," Johnson said. LESHNER MILLS NOW HIRING-WAREHOUSEMAN We are currently accepting applications for WAREHOUSEMAN with openings on 2nd shift (3-11).

At Weyerhaeuser, we’ve been growing and caring for trees an endlessly renewable natural resource since the beginning of the century. Today, trees we planted 30 to 50 years ago provide thousands of products, from books to building materials, that benefit us all. Trees we plant this year will benefit your children and grandchildren. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about growing strong, vigorous trees, and about caring for the environment. We plan every step carefully when we harvest our trees. We build and maintain forest roads properly. We use harvest techniques that protect forest soils and always have 97% of our land growing new trees. We leave natural vegetation along streams to protect water quality and to provide a diverse habitat for wildlife. And after harvest we promptly replant our lands, to begin once more the endless cycle of forest renewal and growth. All this adds up to responsible forestry. And when you look at our green, growing forests, it shows. A Weyerhaeuser
