[ISLMA-Share] High School Libraries: Lunch Students

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our tray rule makes the variation. If you have food that needs a tray---it
stays in the cafeteria. This way there is no evaluative decision about how
messy or not messy something is. If it's on a tray, it can't come in.

Leah Krippner
Librarian, Harlem High School
I am currently reading *I'll Give You the Sun* by Jandy Nelson
