Junior High Cafeteria


ARAMARK School Support Services, in partnership with Flour Bluff I.S.D., is proud to announce the opening of the 12 Spot...an exciting new dining place, designed especially for Flour Bluff Junior High students.

The 12 Spot creates a comfortable setting for students to eat and express themselves with their friends. It is a perfect fit. The 12 Spot and UBU brands were developed as a result of comprehensive focus group research with middle school students and the results of ARAMARK’s proprietary High School DiningStyles™ research. The 12 Spot is designed to reflect the habits, choices and nutritional requirements of today’s tweens (grades 6-8). The 12 Spot features healthy new menu items as well as brightly painted walls, fun food packaging and new lighting.

An open house “cafeteria” celebration is scheduled for January 18, 2007 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Flour Bluff Junior High. Samplings of new menu items include Apple Sour Sauce, Meatball Bombers, Pizzetta Muffuletta and more.
