Hi, Becky,
How were you lucky enough to get the lunch trays out of the school to use for sleds? That sounds fun! The other day on the Weather Channel they were giving safety tips on sledding. #1 was to wear a helmet(???????) and another was to ride a sled that you can steer. I guess that leaves a lunch tray out. We're lucky we survived those days although I know there was a lot less traffic then.
Remember how the teachers used to sit at their table near the door. You had to stop to have your tray inspected before you could leave. The empty paper milk cartons provided a place to hide your unwanted egg salad sandwich. But they came after the little glass bottles of white and chocolate milk. When you emptied your tray, you had to scrape your plates with the rubber spatula into a big metal can. As a teacher, did you ever have to be part of the Cafeteria Gestapo?
We did have good home-cooked meals at Woodbury Elementary thanks to Sylvia Boor and Mrs. Frederick and......can anyone think of any of the other lunch ladies?
