He likes the school lunches now

February 1, 2012

To the Editor:

Ever since I started school, my mom has packed my lunch. Not that lunch wasn't offered at my school, I just liked what my mom made and it was always good tasting, healthy food.

In the last month or so, I made the decision to try the hot school lunch and the salad bar, because I was watching my friends really enjoy the food and thought that it looked really good. Now, I haven't had my mom pack my lunch since before Thanksgiving, and I have been really happy with all the delicious food I've gotten.
I know how hard lunch lady Jen and the West Tisbury School parents teacher organization have been working to get our school a kitchen so that the food can be prepared at school instead of coming from the high school. But, for the time being, I think that Paul and Nick make the best citrus chicken, BBQ ribs, and I really like the tacos. I think that the wraps Leslie makes are great too.

All the food is really good and healthy. And I know good food. My mom and dad operate an organic vegetable farm and really know how to cook healthy too. I just want to say thank you to the High School lunch staff for making food that looks and tastes good. I thought I would never want to eat school lunches. The food they prepare and the salad bar and soups lunch lady Jen makes are awesome.
