In the spring, many people of the Christian faith practice Lent. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, they give up a commodity of their life (such as soda or junk food) and also don’t eat meat on Fridays for six weeks until Maundy Thursday. To accommodate students practicing Lent, BHS’s Food Service staff serves fish on Fridays.
“We’ve always had some sort of fish served on Fridays during Lent. We usually only serve it on Fridays, so the students won’t get sick of it. It also helps us offer a variety.” said Food Service Manager Lynnette Neumann. “The fish we had for a while wasn’t very popular. The fish we have now is good fish. Both students and staff have complimented the fish we currently serve.”
