The blogger identifies herself as Lisa, a mother of a Herod Elementary School kindergartner.
The blog discusses the beginning of the Houston Independent School District First Class Breakfast program at Herod, which according to Lisa, began last week. Posts range from information and history about the program to issues about the nutritional value of the food being served.
The blog contains pictures of the food being served and encourages other parents to share their experience with the First Class Breakfast program.
Who is Lisa? In "Questions Answered," Lisa said:
"Why am I doing this anonymously? Am I a teacher or afraid I will get in trouble?
Many people have asked this . . . some very respectfully and some not so nicely. I never intended this to be anonymous, I just also never thought it was that important to publicize who the author is. I want this to be a dialog for parents, teachers, administrators and anyone else who has information to contribute. I am not a teacher, administrator or student. When I decided to start this, I made no secret of it to my friends, teachers, or fellow parents. I set up a separate email so I could easily keep track of "blog conversations" vs personal ones.
My name is Lisa and I am the parent of a Kindergartner at Herod Elementary. My son is in one of the programs requiring application, but this is also our neighborhood school. I am very involved in my son's school as a volunteer and room parent to his class. I am also a member of the newly formed Food Services Parent Advisory Committee because I care about the food that is served to all of our children."
Lisa's son does eat the breakfast everyday; "he is one of the kids who eats two breakfasts as many people predicted would happen," Lisa said.
