School Lunch

by Maggie Flannery Layout editor

Students often have mixed directions to the food served for lunch, so we need to know from the students! Students share stories about what is served in the lunch line.

Chicken nuggets are normally a favorite for many, but some students, like senior Kyla Fitterling, aren’t a fan.

“Half the time they still look pink,” Fitterling said. “It’s like it always has this tinged almost like tinted green.”

Sophomore Jonah Kierre agrees with Fitterling on that front. “Green meat? Not at this school. Just mama’s cooking,” Kierre said.

A popular staple in school lunch is chocolate milk or regular milk, although getting frozen milk is a new one.

“I got the milk and it was completely frozen through,” Fitterling said.

It’s not just the milk students have had problems with, there have been issues with the macaroni as well. “It’s rubbery macaroni, it tastes like rubber,” Kierre said.

The apples are another example of students’ problems.

“The apples, half the time they’re rotten. They’re discolored and black and green on the inside,” Fitterling said.

But never fear, good food that can be found. The funnel cake, teriyaki chicken and the ordered out pizza are among the favorites.

“The funnel cake thing, it’s a classic option,” Kierre said Even with the good things about school lunch, students feel that there are still issues.

“School lunches are just disgusting,” Fitterling said. e
