Lunchtime Conversations:

• What are we eating? Where did you get the recipe? How does the food fit with your culture/heritage? 
• Where are you from originally? What is your family’s history? 
• What do you love about your neighborhood? What are the challenges of this neighborhood?
• What are your goals for your children’s education? What do you want for your children?
