The Lunch Wars Are On

Lately, the tables in the Springville Junior High cafeteria seem to be cleaner. Why is that? It’s because the student council and the school administration have decided to create the Lunch Wars. The whole purpose was to keep finished lunch in the trash instead of on the tables or floor, and to encourage students to pick up their mess. “Lunch Wars is to make lunch clean, but fun and rewarding!” said Amanda Ripley, the student council vice-president.

The winning lunch must keep the tables all clean and earn 25,000 points.  Each lunch gets 500 points every day, and they lose ten points for every piece of trash. If they do they will be rewarded a pizza party. We will have Lunch Wars each term, and there will be bonus point days that will be announced over the announcements.

“Mr. Mikesell and Mr. Knudsen put in idea, and then asked the student council to add details,” said Moroni Black, a ninth grader and the other vice-president. So far, first lunch has around 12,000 points, and second lunch has around 6,000 points. Remember to keep the tables clean!
