Lunch at Oakwood

Seanne Falconer for Wayzata School Board had lunch at Oakwood before Thanksgiving. This was her experience:

"11:08 - entered lunchroom with 1st graders. Came straight off the playground. Took off coats, hung on hooks in lunchroom.

11:09 - hand sanitizer

In line to get hot lunch (cheeseburger on wheat bun, potato wedges, salad, carrots, bananas and pineapple)

11:12 AM-Paid

11:13 - Beau and I sat down at a table and started to eat (after grabbing napkins and forks)

11:15 - all kids through the line

11:17 - announcement of one minute of quiet. Scramble for napkins and return to seats.

11:18 - One minute of silent chewing/and giggles.

(I thoroughly enjoyed my cheeseburger on a wheat bun, salad, skim milk, and cucumbers.)

11:25 - Done eating. Dumping trays. All kids at my table of 8 finished their lunches— and ALL had picked the cheeseburger hot lunch. I asked any w/ food on their trays if they were full- and they said yes.

11:29 - Kids lined up against the wall. Getting their stuff.

11:30- out of the lunchroom.

Oakwood lunch was awesome, organized, and the kids I ate with liked the food and ate their lunches."

Is this typical for Oakwood? If it is, should they be a model for the rest of the buildings? Were there hooks for every kid? Do other buildings have hooks?
