Did you think you saw a giant lunch box rolling through metro Atlanta on Monday? Yeah, you did!

Dozens of teachers were gifted Abbott Elementary lunch boxes, complete with a sandwich and a cookie, as well as goodie bags stuffed with school supplies.

Many of the educators told Tenenbaum how they related to Janine Teagues, the main character in Abbott Elementary.

“Even though there are a lot of struggles, there are some lights and Janine just brings it out,” teacher Grace Kelly said.

“I love Abbot Elementary because it gives you a day in the life of a teacher and it’s very relatable and funny,” teacher Maggie Mozley-Davis said.

“I feel like teachers have this dialogue going all the time and it’s almost like they’re in our heads,” teacher Jovita Grady said.

“I told you I relate with Abbott Elementary. I just feel even better and I have a lunch box so now I’m a part of the Abbott Elementary crew,” Kelly said.
