The annual testing of vision and hearing was completed in June. Both of these tests are screening tests and no attempt is made to diagnose a visual defect or hearing loss. Not all children who are referred to an eye specialist are in need of glasses. Not every child referred to an ear specialist will need a hearing aid, but we feel that the parent should know that his child's vision or hearing does not meet the standards established by the State Department of Public Health. We feel also that any child who complains frequently of eye fatigue or headache should have a thorough examination by his own doctor and an eye specialist. The Tewksbury Lions' Club is always ready to help financially whenever necessary.


In November a dentist was hired by the Board of Health to work as many hours as he could in our school clinics. Dr. Joseph I. Stone, who is assisted by Mrs. Irene Pollock, has checked the teeth of all children at the North Street School and notified the parents of all children needing care. It has been decided that only emergency work will be done. Dr. Stone can give us only two mornings a week and will divide his time between the three schools having dental facilities. Treatment


S-33


has already been given to 54 children, each child paying a fee of $1.00 per visit. It is hoped that we will soon be able to obtain the services of a Hygienist who will clean the teeth of as many pupils as possible.


This year we are trying to establish a workable schedule whereby each nurse's time will be divided between the schools according to the number of pupils enrolled in each school. This is possible only because the principals, clerks and teachers have been most cooperative - calling us from another school only for emergencies.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM (Ruth Sutton)


The School Lunch Program has been operating throughout the current school year in all Elementary Schools and on a limited basis in the High and Junior High Schools.


We have served in the past three months


64,940 Hot Lunches 43,589 Bottles of Milk 1,948 Teachers' Lunches


Each hot lunch served incorporates 2 oz. of Protein (Meat, Cheese, Fish, Egg, Peanut Butter, Dried Beans), 1/2 pt. whole unflavored Milk, 2 tsp. Butter, 1 Portion Bread or Roll, 3/4 c. Vegetable and/or Fruit (1/2 may be juice ).


The cooperation of the women that prepare and serve the lunches is heart warming and in view of the fact that this meal must supply one third of the child's daily needs their interest is vital.


Our program is more than just one of feeding. It is integrated in the broad area of science, health and safety. Many teachers are using the school lunch and milk programs as a stimulating means of interesting our children in good food habits. Likes and dislikes lose importance when all the others are eating with relish.


The North Street and Shawsheen Schools are well equipped. The addition of a steam jacketed kettle in both schools would bring these kitchens up to the peak of efficiency.


Ella Flemings operation is very smooth and the present arrange- ment is good. Some type of floor covering is needed.


Foster School kitchen has had a face lifting job done this year. The addition of a hot water heater, new sinks, transfer of dish washing machine and refrigerator have greatly improved this kitchen. To cover the cafe tables is an aim for the future. All the schools have the use of freezers loaned to us by various companies.


S-34


The Heath Brook School kitchen is a joy and certainly is the net result of careful planning.


We have worked in close cooperation with the Town Sanitarian.


Without exception the school family have contributed assistance and encouragement and it is a pleasure to be a part of this educational system.
