You won’t find peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread in this kitchen.
What you will find are adjectives. Lovely, unforgettable, nutritious, choice, happy. Luscious, unsurpassed, napkin, colorful, heavenly. These are a few of the adjectives hanging above the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School kitchen, written by students to describe their lunch experiences.
The headache of parking in downtown Edgartown could ease next summer if the town police chief has his way.

Chilmark selectmen are now considering a new plan for leasing out the town-owned house at Tea Lane Farm.
On Tuesday town counsel Ronald H. Rappaport outlined three options for the town — sell the property, issue a short-term or a long-term lease.
Selectmen are considering the next steps after voters rejected a third plan to restore and renovate the 18th century farmhouse for $550,000 at a special town meeting last month.
Spending on a real estate appraisal for the Capt. Warren House and converting the silos at Katama Farm into wireless towers are among the decisions that will confront Edgartown voters at a special town meeting on Tuesday night.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Old Whaling Church. Moderator Philip J. Norton Jr. will preside over the 15-article warrant.

“Today you’re an apple flower,” Melinda Rabbit DeFeo, of Island Grown Schools, said as her student petals stood around her in Chilmark earlier this week. The Edgartown fourth grade had traveled to the home of Peter Norris to pick apples and learn how they grow.
A longtime Chappaquiddick resident who gave a parcel of land to the town for conservation told the selectmen this week that he objects to a possible plan to build a cell tower on the property.
Appearing at the selectmen's meeting Tuesday, Bill Brine said he was “highly disturbed” that the town would consider putting a tower up on the 9.4-acre parcel on Narraganssett avenue. He also said a conservation restriction on the land prohibits development.
