Frewsburg Pack Meals for the Kids…

We got a phone call last Sunday of March 15, 2020, about the BIG changes that are going to happen for the rest of the school year 2019-2020. Globally, the Pandemic arises and our country would like to prevent the certain spreading of the CoVid-19 Virus increasing like a wildfire.

After that phone call from the parents through the school, my co-workers received a phone call from the Superintendent. This message is only for employees and what we need to do. Monday the next day, we (cafeteria) came to see our supervisor for further notice/information about the changes.

To help out with those people who don’t have enough meals for their kids during the school year, the school decided to continue serving them meals, ALL Frewsburg Students. Then, later on, it changes to all kids who are now being given meals every day.

At first, we came certain hours and worked on a certain time we should be working every day. As for me, since I only worked 3 hours every day, I get to leave early. Then, they still noticed there were still a lot of employees on the campus, and we practiced social distancing too. Mind you, you really can’t exercise Social Distancing when there are more than 10 people works in the cafeteria and kitchen.

From there, they have given us another schedule in which there will only be 9 staff working for the meals. And limited our days to come to school, the current plan is to prepared 3 meals for each kid, meaning 3-breakfast and 3 lunches in 1 big bag. So, kids can come to the designated places only twice a week, and as for us (workers), it will be a limited time of exposure to others.

I get so paranoid with this Pandemic, that whenever I get out of the house. Yet, I tried not to be stressful about what is happening in the world, as I have 2 small boys to attend too.

Oh yeah, about them too, well… we told them what is happening in the world. That there is a Pandemic of CoVid-19 Virus going on and that staying at home is the safest thing we need to do, in order not to get sick and not to get harm with others.

Our oldest might understood our explanation but our 5 years old might or might not be. However, we always ensure that we told them what is happening so they would know.

They seem to understand and be very cooperative with us. They do their school work on time because we tell them that doing so would give them an extra activity to do. We let them play their games for an hour as long as they are ALL done with school work. And we are happy that they comply too.

Moreover, when is this going to be over and back to normal? We can’t tell, unless everyone has to be participative of what our Government needs us to do temporarily.

I do hope you are all well in our own home and stay healthy and active. More time with our family and children and our selves, more time to pray and to spend time with God. Maybe all these things happen for a big reason because God knows what’s ahead of everything.
