Lunch

When asked about the cost of school lunch, any growing family with little ones in school will most likely express that they feel that school lunches are overpriced and have little nutritional value for our children. According to Lewiston, Maine school district, on average a week of elementary school lunches costs roughly eleven dollars and for intermediate and high school students it is approximately twelve dollars a week. According to Orange County public school district, on average a week of…

It was the first day of 8th grade at Nagel Middle School, I was alone and friendless on team 8-1, most of my friends from last year were on different teams. So during lunch I ended up sitting with Jenna Walsh a girl I knew from book club last year, her twin Alex and another girl I had gym with the previous year, Samantha Beinke. Although it was quite sunny outside, the temperature in the cafeteria felt like it was below freezing point. I turned towards Jenna about to voice my opinion on how the…

I hollered her name and she was evoked by my voice. She dashed towards me and, we bear hugged for about 60 seconds. I nervously paced into the lunch room to get my lunch, but the lines were as long as the assembly line of the Ford Motor Company. After about 10 minutes of not sitting down, I eventually got my food. The awkward part about lunch is not being able to find an available seat. Intentionally, spitefully, I noticed a seat by a blonde, skinny girl who seemed affable. She acknowledged…

but, how you attack the situation; can forge the difference in your day. The key is planning ahead. Planning for a successful day begins the night before. Start by immediately after dinner, making your lunch. I utilize leftovers, since they are an immensely cost-effective way to eat lunch. Any tantalizing homemade soup, lasagna or leftover will be a welcoming treat the following day. A treat that usually tastes better the next day. Can you say? Mmm! Mmm good! Now, place these homemade…

be judge. I always had a fear of being judged by people I don’t know and I didn’t want the harsh words to stick around like shadows, until meeting my best friend, Meghan who was also afraid of judgement. Meghan and I were heading to lunch when I ran into in the lunch line, then I looked at her in fear trying to say the words, “I’m sorry,” but no vomit came out. Another reason that made me want to achieve this goal was that I wanted to apologize to…

me is the time I gave my lunch away to a kid I didn’t even know in middle school. It was a regular day in school as I purchased my lunch from the cafeteria, when I saw this underclassman trip and fall; he dropped his school lunch with his book on top of his tray and his tray on top of his food. I without hesitation walked up to him as he picked himself up and asked him if he was OK. He with a grimace on his face said softly, “yeah.” I then offered him my own school lunch, and without a response…

children and teens are used to only getting this amount of time. “We have a 10-minute recess. My friends and I share our snacks” (Jiménez). Typically in American schools, children and teens are given an average of thirty minutes for recess. In America, lunch and recess are times to spend with friends. While students in America are excited to eat…

School lunches are also insufficient because they are failing to teach nutritional value to children. “In the Year 2012, more than 31.6 million children each day got their lunch through the National School Lunch Program. Since the modern program began, more than 224 billion lunches have been served” (National School lunch program par.14). These billions of children that have been consuming these school lunches throughout their school years from kindergarden up until they have graduated are…

The weather was gorgeously sunny, but windy. The land was flat and we biked through a lot of green farmers’ fields, with cows blissfully enjoying their lunch of green grass. We also biked along canals and saw many people enjoying rides in their boats and swimming in the canals. There were neat, small brick houses that lined the canal with neat and tidy yards. The wind along the canals made it difficult…
