We've only had parent lunch visits on rare occasions. I don't recall there
ever being one for me. My brother had one. My mom went, ate the food then no
longer required us to buy lunch.

I had two with Angela. Both the same year. One was for a birthday. Since her
birthday is in July, she got to pick another time during the school year.
The next time was when they were giving oral book reports in costume. They
did something like 10 book reports per day and the parents of those kids
were allowed to come for lunch.

My school had a cafeteria but we had to eat in our classroom. We got a half
an hour. Angela's old school has a cafeteria now but did not in those days.
The food was prepared at another school and was brought in on Styrofoam
trays. 20 min. for lunch. Canned ravioli was what they served on the day
that I went. She wound up taking a snack of apples and carrots and then
eating her meal when she got home.
