'Abbott Elementary' launches 'Lunch Break' tour to donate meals and supplies to teachers

CARSON, Calif. (KABC) -- Teachers in South Los Angeles felt the love Thursday when they got a little help from ABC's hit TV show "Abbott Elementary."

A new "mobile lunch box" is stopping at Title 1 schools across the county, giving away goodie bags and prepackaged lunch boxes to teachers.

"I was really excited about coming out here and getting our little goodie bags," said Patrice West, a teacher at Ralph Bunche Elementary School.

The group is distributing 10,000 school supply items and on Thursday, the mobile lunch box stopped by Rosecrans Elementary School in Compton and Ralph Bunche Elementary School in Carson.

"Oftentimes, teachers are overlooked, and just having this small token of appreciation means a lot," said Rosecrans Elementary School Principal Tamara Carter.

The lunch break tour is part of the show's marketing campaign, and it's all about showing teacher appreciation.

"The supplies come in handy, especially as a teacher, so we don't have to go into our pocket and spend money," Cheree Montgomery, a teacher at Ralph Bunche Elementary.

And these teachers say the TV show is pretty spot on in when it comes to showing what it's like working in a school.
