Our Lehighton Area Elementary Center - By Avery B., Noelle K., and Morgan S.
Our
cafeteria makes 936 meals for lunch and they only have 7 to 9 cooks!
They manage to make all this food by working together and having different stations, but they still work as a team. Their boss make the menu for each month the month before.
They estimate how much food they need based on how many students usually buy. It usually takes 1 ½ hours to prepare all the meals each day.
After lunch is over, they have to wash all the dishes with the handy dandy conveyor belt washing machine.

We have
recess after lunch. Our lunch aides, Deanna Bokan and Amy Neeb, transferred from Mahoning
Elementary.
Even though they miss our old school, they love the new school and the students. Amy said, “We lunch aides work together as a team to make sure that all the students are behaving. It’s a team effort.’’ Another lunch aide Deanna Bokan said, “I love this job and I treat kids as if they are my own.” They both agreed that it was difficult in the beginning but it is getting easier as time
goes on.

These natural gas powered ovens are technically advanced ways our staff prepares our food. Today's menu, walking tacos, required all three ovens to heat large tubs of hamburger. |
This is a great article. The girls did an awesome job sharing information about their new school cafeteria!
