Hi Ms Erby,

Kai reports the following lunch results so far this week:

Mon: The lunch was supposed to be a Hot Dog (DF) and the hot dog 
was gone by the time Kai got to lunch, and they were given a meatloaf 
lunch, DF-ness unknown

Tue: No lunch on main menu is listed as DF; Kai asks for their special 
lunch and was given a bottle of almond milk, and when Kai asked for 
the rest, was given BBQ chicken, which is not listed as DF

Wed: No lunch listed on main menu is listed as DF; Kai asks for their 
special lunch and was given a bottle of almond milk, and when Kai 
asked for the rest, was given teriyaki chicken (but, according to Kai, 
if this was supposed to be their special meal, the lunch people didn't 
act like it was).

FWIW, the DF meal at their elementary school was often teriyaki 
chicken, so it was probably ok, but you understand my concern.

Kai also reports a lot of shoving and bumping in the lunch line, 
enough so that they have brusies from it.

Frances reports not getting lunch because she isn't hungry.

Thanks for your concern,
