The school isn’t monkeying around.
Via Fox News:
A cafeteria manager is changing her students’ lives for the better at an elementary school in Virginia Beach, Va., writing empowering and uplifting messages on bananas being offered in the school cafeteria.
Stacey Truman has held the position at Kingston Elementary School for nine years, but recently decided to start making the “talking bananas,” as the kids call them, to encourage the students.
“I do it for my kids at home, so why not bring it here and do it for them because they are like my kids,” Truman said to WTKR.
The bananas have several motivational messages like “Never give up,” “You are wise!” and “Keep trying,” among others.
Truman told WTKR, “Most of [the messages] I came up with myself because I would just think about what you would tell a kid or what you would want to hear yourself.”
