What's for lunch? Students in DeKalb County elementary schools have entree choices today of fish nuggets with whole grain roll or chili cheese max wrap with salsa; middle school kids have the added choice of Philly steak and cheese sandwich; and high school students have all those options plus the choice of spicy popcorn chicken with whole grain roll. I'd go for the Philly steak and cheese sandwich...
