Joanna: What are some challenges of working in the dining hall?

Lisa: Our goal is to feed every child. So, it’s hard when you don’t know how many kids are going to come to lunch or if there’s a field trip, and maintain the quantity of food.

J: What motivates you? 

L: You guys!  You guys coming in and the speed that y’all come to lunch. It’s like, “Okay, let’s go!” They come with full-force energy. 

J: What do you like to do for fun? 

L: I have a 15-year-old son and he plays basketball for New Mission High School, so I always go to his games.
