Five Things to Know Today, Oct.11

What your kids are eating today at DeKalb schools; Memorial Drive merchants meeting, and more

Today on Patch: Is it ever O.K. for kids to share the bed with their parents? Today at 11 a.m. on Moms Talk, see what Erin Littles has to say about it, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Also posting today: a gentle kitty for adoption (2 p.m.) and Week 9 preview and schedule for DeKalb football (4 p.m.). Stephenson and Redan both play later this week.

What’s for lunch?: Entree choices for DeKalb County elementary school students are galaxy pepperoni or cheese pizza or grilled Chicken Sandwich; middle school students have the additional entree choice of Chicken Tetrazinni with whole grain roll; and high school students get all those entree choices plus the option of a taco Hot Pocket.

The kids should be ecstatic; I hear the galaxy pizza is actually pretty good.
