Galaxy pizza, pumpkins, miniature chairs, and more.

What’s for lunch:  Here are the entree choices at DeKalb County schools today: for elementary students, Galaxy Cheese Pizza, Galaxy Pepperoni Pizza, or pulled BBQ chicken sandwich; middle school gets the added choice of a meatball sandwich; and high school kids get to choose from all those options plus a chicken fajita.
