Time to eat!

Ask a student what their favorite class is and the answers will vary. Some like the structure of math, others like the stories in social studies, and still others prefer the expression they find in music or art. Ask a student what their favorite part of school is, and most will tell you "lunch!"

Lunch is an important part of the day. The students think they have less rules to follow, they think of it as free time with their friends, or they are just hungry by then and need to recharge their batteries. In truth, they are only half-right.

They have less of the school's rules to follow, but they have a lot of rules they impose on each other. They have free time with their friends, but that freedom is exercised in a place made safe by people like Mr. Francisco (the Assistant Principal), Mr. Bryant (the School Resource Officer), Mrs. Stuztman (at that time, our lunch line aide), the cafeteria workers, and every other adult, including the parents and guardians, who have helped guide them to follow the rules that keep everyone safe. Finally, they do get to recharge their batteries, but if it weren't for Mrs. Bright's excellent food, and the timers on the pop and candy machines, they might not be making the best choices in the way they do it.

Still, lunch is fun. You can see the students are having a good time just by walking through the lunchroom. We have a great school and a great school cafeteria. Stop by the office, and come join us for lunch! (10:20 MS, 11:35 HS)
