Students
across district feel the change
Cafeteria Prices
Rise By Dime
by Peter Gutshenritter
With the Millard School
District getting bigger and still growing, there
has been a major renovation of the schools across
the district. More specifically, there have been
several changes at MN over the last few months. Not
only has there been new siding, a new gym floor,
carpet, and classrooms as well as new numbers, but
something else not as obvious. Lunch prices in all
the elementary, middle, and high schools have all
seen an increase of ten cents on the main meals
served each day.
On the very first day lunch was served, students
went to the cash register to pay for their lunch
consisting of the entree, fruit, bread, potato, and
milk. Little did they know that the price had been
upgraded by a dime, from $1.50 to $1.60.
Now This Just In...
