Emily Thornton 
Child Nutrition Director     636-9955

• My name is Emily Thornton.  I am the Child Nutrition Director for Thomasville City Schools.  I feel that the Child Nutrition Program is very important.  "A hungry child will find it hard to concentrate on his/her education."

• Each child has an account in the cafeterias.  The student is given an identification number.  When a parent sends money for meals the students' account is posted.  Money for meals may be paid by the day, week, month, or year.  When the student keys in his/her account number for each meal, his/her account will be credited.  A daily history of transactions is maintained at each cafeteria office.  You may feel free to check on your child's account.

• Free and Reduced lunch forms are available at each school's main office.
