See lunchtime starting
See students sprinting for seats
See 300 children screeching
See three Sisters shrieking. “Silence! Say Grace.”
See Susan swapping salami for Sally’s Snoballs
See Vinnie vomiting volumes of veggie soup
See Sister Sebastian sliding through slimy soup
See lunchtime ending
See students silently slumping back to school
