If your school district is like the one here, they encourage as many people as possible to sign up for the lunch programs, because the school gets more resources from the district, and the district gets more from the state and Feds, if they have more “underprivileged” students. Every now and then the papers will run an article about the various dodges people us, and the poor efforts at verification. It’s a swindle all around.
Maybe the free lunch will be less attractive when Michelle Obama is planning the menu ;-).
Well, even if I could get them on assisted lunches, I wouldn’t be inclined.
I fix their lunch every morning, and sometimes I put little notes in their bags as well. You know, goofy things, sometimes a smiley face, a goofy face on a post-it, or something inspirational, like “Love ya” or “good luck on your test”.
As much as they grumble about my tuna sammiches or leftover meatloaf, I think they appreciate it. My oldest daughter asks me not to put in goofy notes, because it embarrasses her.... I told her NO WAY. She just smiles about it.
Nah, even if they could get a free lunch... there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Dad’s love is priceless :)
The school can’t provide that for em.
Oh yeah, and they get little debbie as well. The school gives the kids carrot sticks, so I got that going for me as well.
