East Side
Hello! My name is Ana Marques, I work at East Side High School. In a building with over 300 staff, this is the teachers lounge we are working with. There is a microwave that is only here because a teacher had brought it in a few years back, but with so many people using it so often, it’s in very rough shape. We had a very old fridge up until last year, but this year we returned to it no longer being here. So the teachers are keeping their lunch bags by the window in an attempt to keep their food cold. The only other appliance we have is a very small coffee pot and a vending machine that has not been used or even filled in many years. There is a very extreme lack of chairs and tables. In a building where all our teachers are working their hardest and doing their best, the least that they deserve is a suitable teachers lounge to have a comfortable lunch and/or prep period.
