A Fairfax County elementary school cafeteria was the site of reunions, burps and widespread enjoyment of chocolate milk.
As the littlest ones struggled to balance their meals on broad plastic boards for the first time, every adult in the cafeteria jumped in to guide them.The children, dazed by the din, responded with silent nods and blank stares. They hadn’t quite figured out the lunchroom yet.
After the second-graders, who dined at 10:30 a.m., came the kindergartners. Their sneakers dangled under the round tables, their legs not yet long enough to touch the floor. Chocolate milk remains a totem of elementary school. In the drink cooler, the legion of white-milk mini-cartons sat largely untouched. Nearly every hand that reached into the fridge came out with a brown box of the good stuff.The first-graders who arrived next had left all the uncertainty of kindergarten behind. They waved eagerly to friends they hadn’t seen since last school year and bounced up to embrace.
