IDAHO FALLS - The EastIdahoNews.com team is highlighting different jobs in our area and every Monday for the next several weeks, we’ll be workin’ it in a variety of professions.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to feed hundreds of children every day? It's a question I had so I decided to spend some time in the lunchroom!
Jodi Prestwich is the Fox Hollow Elementary Kitchen Manager and she's responsible for making sure the kids at her school - and at Hawthorne Elementary - are fed breakfast and lunch every day during the school year.
As I learned, it takes a team to keep everything straight and make it all happen! Check out my experience as a lunch worker in the video player above.

I worked in an Elementary School Cafeteria in California when my kids were in school. It was perfect, got me out of the house, I earned some money and when my kids were home so was I. I LOVED IT!! I adored the children! I hate it that so many people look down on the lunch Ladies, it’s hard work !!!

@divadaedalus 8 месяцев назад

It’s hard work. I substitute teach now that I am retired and all of the cafeteria workers I have met greet the children by name within the first weeks of school, move the lines smoothly and then wash all those trays. Amazing, kind dedicated folk. Oh, and they keep iced tea and treats for teachers.

@stephaniehowe0973 8 месяцев назад

I absolutely agree. I worked for our school districts traveling summer program. Bringing coolers full of meals to different sites. A gentleman tried to let me go 1st in line & I wouldn't. The cashier said NO she's ok she is the lunch lady & I was proud

@robinpayton564 8 месяцев назад

I am a lunch lady at my first shift job at a middle school. When I get off work at 2 or 2:30 I drive a couple blocks to my 2nd job. I am a custodian at an elementary school. I love both jobs. It's hard work but I love being around the children! They make my day! ❤🎉😊

As a former cafeteria worker! Kudos to you Nate! Those ladies get up real early to cook & care for kiddos and it’s one of the lowest paying jobs! You can make more at a fast food place. I find that so sad!

@SledDog5678 8 месяцев назад

As a kid I worked in the school cafeteria (kids worked serving at the window). It was an elective class. You worked both lunches and ate your own lunch between the two lunch periods. I loved it. We got .50¢ free food each day and though be got paid, I forgot how much. It was below minimum wage of that time. I saved it all and bought my first ten speed....back then, that equaled freedom. Fun times. ...and it was the best to be able pick your own food.....YUMMY. They had great food back then....all made fresh from scratch in the cafeteria!!!!

@pixiedustgirl13 8 месяцев назад

I read the kitchen reviews (cleanliness, safety, etc) of the restaurants, school cafeterias, airport restaurants, etc, in my part of the county. They list every infraction, big and small. After they list those, they list which places got perfect scores. ALL of the schools make the perfect-score list. Those employees work very hard! (And it's scary to read the unsanitary conditions in some of our local eateries!)

when I was in college I served lunch to kids at an area high school. It was the perfect hours that fit my needs at the time. Loved it, and miss those days.

@kannyplay9831 8 месяцев назад

@bettyir4302 8 месяцев назад

Oh my, the aroma of homemade yeast rolls drifting through the hallway in the class period before lunch! They had government peanut butter in some form every day - pb cookie, pb on apples, pb and hone in a dixie cup with a slice of bread or those yeast rolls, pb with veg sticks. No mystery meats but whole pieces of chicken. No one brought a sack lunch and no one went from the line to the trash can like kids do today.

@christinawelsh3417 8 месяцев назад

@@bettyir4302I ABSOLUTELY agree. Taking nothing from these hard working ladies & Nate because they don't set the menus! Back then we had real food that got us through the day! ❤ I remember eating every bit. My mother helped in the cafeteria too. All the food was delicious and cooked from scratch! We would race to eat! Now my kids come home starving because they served nasty food!!! It's true! What options for vegetarian kids I wonder? I was vegetarian by choice at 12.... I was terrified of chemicals put in meat back then. Now it's really not even meat! It's grown from stem cells sadly.... 😢

This brings back memories. When I was in 7th and 8th grade if our study hall period was at time the lunch was being served, we could be servers in the lunch room. It was so much fun. I'm convinced I gained all my weight eating the French fries....lol. This was in like 1973 and '74. Don't think students are allowed to do that these days.
