School Lunches

One of the distinguishing features of Trottier Middle School is its delicious lunch offerings. The cafeteria staff has been doing an excellent job for the past 25 years, ensuring that students not only enjoy their food but also leave the cafeteria with a smile on everyone’s face. Even the lunch ladies themselves agree that the food is exceptional.

The lunch staff at Trottier puts a lot of effort into providing food for the about four hundred students. It can take them several days to prepare some dishes, but on average, it takes around two to three hours. Usually, there are four to five staff members working in the kitchen at a time, and they all do a little bit of everything.  Before leaving, they spend an hour cleaning up the entire kitchen. 

During an interview with Cindy Loughlin, a member of the lunch staff, she expressed her love for her job and the students. Mrs. Loughlin explained that cooking was her passion and working with kids was her dream. She had worked at two other schools before joining Trottier. Mrs. Loughlin finds all the students to be exceptionally kind and polite, but she particularly remembers William Su, a current 6th grader, as the most helpful and caring student. William sweeps everywhere, even places he isn’t required to, which impresses Mrs. Loughlin so much that she asked us to give him a shoutout. Thank you so much William Su for being so kind and helpful! 

Some days are busier than others for our kitchen staff. The students’ favorite lunches include pizza, waffles, hotdogs, and grilled cheese, so on these days, the lunch staff prepares approximately 400 meals! Sometimes, when they make pizza, they even have to start the day before they serve the meal. Our lunch staff works incredibly hard, including cooking, serving, and cleaning up. No matter how tired they are or how much they’ve worked, they always serve us with a smile. They also make sure to say, “Enjoy!” or “Have a good lunch!” as the students walk away. The lunch staff proves the saying, “Not all heroes wear capes.”
