We See What You're Saying™
Our sons, Graham and Reed, started their formal education at The Near North Montessori School in Chicago, from preschool to eighth grade. For high school they applied to and were excepted into at International Baccalaureate and Double Honors programs at Lincoln Park High School part of the Chicago Public School system.
At mainstream, public high schools lunch boxes weren’t cool. “Tray” lunches or “bag” lunches were acceptable, if still not quite cool. Four years later Graham was off to college and Reed had two more years at Lincoln Park.
In an effort to support his efforts each bag lunch was made a little more special, a little more individual reminding him that we thought he was cool.
PS: Mornings being what they are, not all of the bags were photographed and accept for the last few, unused bags, none of them were saved.
