Every day at Blackhawk Middle School every student in the school gets some sort of lunch for free. The lunches have a wide variety of what students can eat. They also have many good items that you can have on the side. Like Fruits and other stuff to eat. The school also supplies a milk or a juice to drink with your lunch

Even though Blackhawk provides these lunches for free, there is ale’ cart. Which does cost money. But ale ‘cart is not required. The ale’ cart items include stuff like snacks and soda. Most ale’ cart items are around 75 cents. So even though it costs money, it is not very expensive. Which is good for students who may not come from a very wealthy background.

At Blackhawk, there is a variety of lunches. You will not eat the same meal. The school has a wide variety of meals. They have foods such as pizza, spaghetti, salad, nachos, and much more. Along with a bunch of different sides, and even different milk flavors and  Sometimes the food is good sometimes it’s bad. At least they don’t serve slop!

Students have lunch around the time it is expected to be had at. The schools lunch periods are around 12:00 so the students eat around mid-day. So the timing is pretty good. The lunches last around 30 minutes. Which is sometimes not enough time to eat. When students get called last to eat their lunch they often run out of time.

The Cafeteria is located on the right the side of the school. There are rows of tables that students sit at. The students do not get to pick where they sit. They have to sit with the class they are going to after lunch. Students used to have free Fridays to sit where ever they want. Ever since Mr. Harl became the new assistant principal they have yet to return this school year. Many students have asked him and he has said they might return.

Every day at lunch after students come in and start sitting down, Mr. Harl, the assistant principal counts down from 3 to get students quiet. After he is done counting down he picks the row of tables (There are 9 rows) that got quiet the fastest to go get their lunch first. The students all rush to get their food. Then after that he continuously calls other rows to go get their food. Then the students teachers come and pick them up at the end of lunch. Then they walk their students back to the classroom and they begin learning.
