Many students in West Albany High School get hot lunch every day. This is not true for the rest of the student body, however. The people who bring sack lunches have varying different food from leftovers from a previous meal to a sandwich. These differing foods can be simple or complex but they are all a part of the student’s meal. Sack lunches are often a touch of home and no matter if they are simply a quick lunch whipped up by the student or maybe the student’s parent or sibling. But this doesn’t negate the fact that some time was put into it. Ever since Hot lunches became free, many more people have gone into the lunch line which has caused a chaotic feel to getting one’s lunch. Because of this the only times where one could go and not feel like everyone is running into each other is the very beginning or end of when they serve lunch. This doesn’t mean that those with sack lunches don’t have their own problems when trying to eat. Those with sack lunches have to grab a spot in the long lines to heat up their food in the microwave. However, whatever lunch a student gets, they get good food to help them in their day.
