Lunch with Satchel

Yesterday, Warren, my mom, Jiro and I joined Satchel's class for lunch and his birthday celebration. They started off taking turns reading from the book, On the Day You Were Born, and I got to read the last page. (I almost totally started crying!) Then they sang happy birthday and the "We're so glad you're here" song. Finally, Satchel showed everyone the timeline of his life.

Then we sat down for an amazing lunch of roasted tilapia, green salad with feta, cheddar cornbread, and fresh mango. It was delicious!


The school's lunches are actually the topic of this week's column Give kids awesome food, they'll eat it up.
