Board Member Cheryl Polzin Experiences Lunch

School board member Cheryl Polzin visited Kimberly Lane on January 6. Cheryl helped carry the basket with home lunches and water bottles, learning that students rotate in this role. The basket was dropped off by the cafeteria and then the 2nd graders went to recess.
After recess the students lined up to enter the building for lunch. Cheryl met up with one of the students and her mother. There are four 2nd grade classes, and the quietest class was selected that day to go in first, which happened to be the class of Cheryl's lunchmate. Cheryl was approached by another 2nd grader who said they needed more lunch time and that only about 60% of their food is eaten.
As they arrived to the lunch room, Cheryl began to hang her coat on the hangers outside the cafeteria but noticed no one else was doing so. She kept her coat on and then sat on it once seated as everyone else did.
A para was offering hand sanitizer to the students, which normally does not happen. Not every child received hand sanitizer, and neither did Cheryl.
Lunch was served very quickly, with the last student receiving their meal 8 minutes after the lunch period started. Most students finished their main course (pancakes or omelet), but many veggies were discarded. Cheryl finished her meal. With two minutes left in the lunch period, students were told to line up. A student was assigned as table wiper.
