Lunch with two 8th graders this week!

One of the things that absolutely makes my day is to have great interactions and times with my students.  Whether it be in the hall, the cafeteria during lunch, in the gym, at concerts or athletic events, or by having lunch with them.  This week, as part of the Health curriculum, 8th graders enrolled in the class invite various staff members and parents to lunch.  The students plan the menu, either prepare or purchase the meal, research the ingredients/calories, grams of fat, write up a report, and then have the lunch with the staff member or parent.  It is such a great time and one of the highlights of my year.  My particular lunch prepared by these two terrific girls was: A very special turkey, cheese, tomato, pickle and onion sandwich on sourdough bread, pita chips and humus, strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and lemonade!  It was awesome just like the two students!~
