Remembering school cafeteria rock stars on National School Lunch Hero Day

Worcester author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka was inspired to write his "Lunch Lady" series after meeting his former school lunch lady years later.

“Hey! Trash Girl! I bought trash.” At times I get, “Hey! Rubbish Woman!” 

Twenty many years ago, I was “Miss Parpos.” Twenty yrs ago, when I started out functioning in the industry of schooling, I was an elementary faculty classroom teacher in Boston General public Educational institutions. 

Now? Now, I’m a secretary in the Distinctive Instruction department of an elementary school. And mainly because of a team scarcity that can not be entirely blamed on COVID, I’m assigned to the permanent place of daily lunch (and recess) coverages. 

Do I enjoy “moonlighting” as a Lunch Lady? Effectively, I really do not enjoy that I do the 2nd position with out shell out, which, apparently, the hourly pay back for both of those positions are the exact. When lunch coverages are around and I return to my place of work, does it [being a lunch monitor] make the hustle to get IEPs and other these kinds of legal documents processed a very little far more, hustle-y? Yes, but I’m a group player so I’ll put on both equally hats.
