Sporkwrapping? A new athletic event at Raba ES?
The Raba ES Student Council has devised a schedule to help the kitchen personnel speed things along when the kindergarten classes go through the lunch line. Armed with a box of sporks (spoon/fork combination), napkins and straws, intermediate classes take turns wrapping them together so the younger students don’t have to take time getting individual items as they go through the line. Students do their “sporkwrapping” when there is extra time during the day or during their recess time—not during instruction time. Way to go students! This is an example of true teamwork!
