STUDENT LUNCH REVIEWS

MADELEINE PARRY (Third Grade)

They do different styles of food, and so far, on holidays, they have food for the theme. If you don’t like what they’re serving for the hot food, you can always get something at the salad bar. My mom usually tells me to have a vegetable each day, so if I don’t like what they’re serving I can always go to the salad bar. I like how they have the agua fresca—I don’t like all of them, but it’s great that they serve something else besides plain water…For Halloween we had pizza because it’s a special occasion. Sometimes they’re creative and they make new combinations of food that you wouldn’t normally make.

PENELOPE BARBER AND LUKASZ BALON (Lower Level)

Penelope: It’s really good. I like it because it’s homemade. I like the chicken noodle soup. There’s variety. They have a salad bar—it has yogurt, sauces, pink onions, fruit mix. They have [a place] where you can get lunch if you’re vegetarian. My favorite agua fresca was probably the cucumber and lime.

Lukasz: It’s really good because I love the tomato sauce and the broccoli, and today’s lunch—it was zucchini and broccoli. You always see me take some fruit—grapes are my favorite one. Today I took strawberries and blueberries. My favorite meal was the bread and cheese and you dipped it in the tomato sauce—it was so good!

EMERSON YOUNG, SOPHIA OCHMAN, AND CARTER FURST (Early Program)

What are your favorite foods served at lunch this year?

Emerson: Tomatoes, cucumbers, soup, bagels!

Sophia: Bagel, bagel, bagel! Bagels, tomatoes, and cucumbers. One time I liked the sandwich with cheese in it. I like the pizza—we only have it on the pizza days.

Carter: I like grapes, chicken, turkey, corn!

Majlinda Rama (Emerson, Sophia, and Carter’s homeroom teacher): My class all eat the vegetables. They all eat the bagels. The soup this year has been really popular—they really like the soup. They like chicken, sloppy joes. They like it when they introduce a different theme or culture. They really like the holiday meals. Here the chef asked me what my favorite Albanian dish is, because she wants to introduce students to more cuisine. It was interesting to see the chef willing to bring a different culture to the kitchen.

WYATT ELLIS AND CHASE FORDE (Kindergarten)

Wyatt: Pasta! I like the after lunch [the meal served after the hot main course]—bagels and bread, sandwiches, and the salad bar.

Chase: I like the bowtie pasta and I like some jelly sandwich and I like different kinds of pasta—the chefs and the lunch captains are doing a good job!
