**by Mrs. Allen and 2nd Graders** **Cathedral of St. Raymond School, Joliet, IL** Lunch at St. Ray's Lunch at our school is broken into 4 groups: grades PreK-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8. The students in 2nd grade are participating in this project and I took pictures of their lunchboxes and what they had for lunch on a typical day. 

Almost every day, students bring their lunches.



Although there's a lunchroom, there isn't daily hot lunch.



Once a month, our school has "hot lunch day" where the Home and School Association orders hot meals from local restaurants/fast food places like McDonalds, Burger King, and Hey Hot Dog!





Students have the option to bring their own drinks or order milk (one kind).







<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">A student's lunch typically has fruits, sandwiches, yogurt, chips, and snacks.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">Sometimes they bring hot soups and foods in a thermos. []

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">The students were also able to see lunches from different places: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Denmark **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">: Vonsild School, Kolding - Class 1A - <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">[] <span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> - Stefan Nielsen - @snskole
