Most students share one favorite location at Jonathan Law High School – the cafeteria. 

The Jonathan Law cafeteria consists of over a dozen hard-working staff members. They serve breakfast in the morning, and rotate hot lunch, pizza, and sandwiches for lunch everyday. 

The staff works from 6 a.m. through 2 p.m., always preparing for the next meal. Sometimes, they even come after hours to prep for the following day’s meals.

“The food services staff cooks, prepares and provides food for students and staff alike but more importantly, they also build positive relationships with our students during their interactions with them on a daily basis,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy. “The bonds they form last throughout a student’s time here at Law and they even attend graduation for students each year.” 

The amount of work that goes into serving breakfast and lunch for students is often overlooked. The kitchen is busy during the entire school day to ensure that the day moves smoothly. 

Kitchen Manager Cary Sue Attardo makes sure that each meal is both healthy and tasty for students and staff. 

“As Kitchen Manager, the biggest responsibility for me is making sure all of our staff prepares and cooks food safely and to serve our food with love,” Attardo said.  

Many people at Jonathan Law have built relationships with the kitchen staff, as they look forward to seeing them several times a day.

“I look forward to getting breakfast everyday and seeing Barb,” junior Lila Hoxie said. “It really brightens my morning.”

One of the kitchen’s staff members, Debra Perez, has worked at Law since 2022. She said she looks forward to seeing students every day in the cafeteria.  

“I love working here and I would say that my favorite part of working here at Jonathan Law is seeing the kids everyday,” Perez. “All the students are so polite to us.”

Students said that Law could not function the same without the hard work that goes into feeding the school everyday. 

“My favorite lunch is the sandwich bar, but getting to see the cafeteria people everyday is an added benefit,”  junior Hannah Engel said.
