00:13 Kirshner is live at Crescent Elementary with more on what your kid needs to

00:17 succeed this year. Ava.

00:18 Hey guys. Yeah. As you can see, we've got my hair net on. We're ready to go.

00:26 We're in the kitchen here at Crescent Elementary School ready to cook up some

00:29 delicious and nutritious food. And I do want to say these cafeteria workers are

00:34 kind of the unsung heroes of the school. They're delivering nutritious meals to

00:38 your kids every single day. And so we decided to bring them some slightly

00:43 unnutritious meals here. We got some cookies for you guys. School book

00:46 cookies as I believe. So here you go. Thank you for all your hard work that

00:50 you guys do. You guys really do deserve it. And so talking about that work, what

00:54 is your favorite part of the job? Probably feeding the kids that are

00:58 hungry. There's a lot that this is the only meal they're going to get today.

01:02 Um,

01:04 cooking for the kids and have ready that food for them when they come and

01:12 grab that food. And Jorge, what about you? Well, something that's as important

01:17 as food, maybe a smile for them to have to help them to have a better day.

01:22 They're serving up nutritious meals and smile. So what is on the menu for

01:27 today? Well, today for breakfast is going to be waffle sticks and sausage.

01:31 And for lunch is going to be chicken filet burgers. Delicious. And so tell

01:36 me one more thing. What does it take to do your job? A lot of parents don't

01:39 know what you guys go through every day. Um, it takes being on your feet all

01:43 day. Um,

01:45 uh, trying to wear a smile for the kids so that they don't see that we're

01:50 stressed out in the kitchen. Um,

01:53 you guys,

01:56 well, maybe something that they don't don't know. It's that we cook things

02:01 food from scratch sometimes. So, um, that's something important to very

02:06 impressive, very impressive. And later they'll tell me how to restructure my

02:09 hair net. So I actually wear it right. But for now, I'm gonna send it back to

02:12 you guys live in Southeast Bakersfield. Ava Kirschner, 23 bc News connecting
