Lessons from the Lunchlady
This week we had a snow day that was really a rain day, we served green eggs, we wore chef hats and we learned what makes a day awesome and what doesn't. Here's what I learned.
I do not like them Sam I am; I do not like green eggs and ham. I had a lot of fun attempting to color the scrabbled eggs on Monday. We had shades from shamrock shake to Oscar the grouch. Turns out if you mix the shamrock with the grouch you get a more authentic green. Who knew?
It is not the greatest day ever! When an entire second grade class squeezed into the elevator because a student with an injury couldn't take the stairs one little boy exclaimed "this is the greatest day ever" to which the teacher replied "one of our classmates has a disability. This is NOT the greatest day ever. "
Hello, I'm Janet. From the Department of Agriculture. AYFKM? Apparently a quick glance into the dry storage and the cold storage was all she needed to see. She was also very interested if I had prominately displayed my federally required poster indicating that all students are welcome no matter their race or economic status. The entire visit lasted less than 10 minutes.
Middle of the week snow day. The blizzard of 2013 turned into a mostly annoying rainstorm. The worst part about having a day off in the middle of the week is that Thursday starts to feel like Monday.
National school Breakfast week can be fun. We had a lot of new faces at breakfast this week and that's always exciting. What I learned from that is if you offer a prize, they will come.
What did you learn this week?

So, tell me, what exactly is a more "authentic green" when it comes to eggs?!? (Maybe Janet should have looked at things a bit more closely!)
Hum... er... I... not sure... green omelettte??? Did you try yellow???

Love the green eggs and ham!
I spent the week in Toledo working on our big fundraiser and I learned that no matter how nice a person is, or how intelligent they are, it doesn't mean that they are going to do a great job. Some things aren't gonna happen if you don't do them yourself. And that just sucks, big time! Because, there is only so much a person can do.
