As the school year starts, St. John Bosco High School is offering new quality lunch choices for their hungry students.

The lunch menu now offers students a variety of options with certain changes every week. The choices students regularly have week-to-week are pepperoni and cheese pizza, a chicken bake, teriyaki chicken and rice, a hot dog with a drink and Boba.

“The pizza is the highlight of the menu,” said senior Elijah Sanchez. “There has never been a day where I felt the change of quality in the food.”

There are also changing food items for each week, giving a unique twist to the lunch menu.

With a good amount of options, there are some students who enjoy having more to choose from at lunch. The variety makes the menu an upgrade from last year. The changes also have more choices for students with food allergies.

“I had a soy allergy when I was younger and having a wide variety of options, even though it’s not that bad as it was back then, I still appreciate that they give you choices like that,” said freshman Sebastian Barba.

The new prices are also well-received. Students believe they offer an enjoyable service at a good price.

The lunch service also gives students something to rely on if they either lose their lunch, forget their lunch or just prefer to buy a hot, fresh meal.

Loads of students have a lot of positive comments about the current food menu, with many preferring the new lunch menu rather than food brought from home. Some students don’t mind paying a little more for the quality of the food and drinks.

There are certain students who love the idea of changing menu items, but they would prefer it if certain items stayed on the menu for a bit longer.

“I heard that they would have Chicken Karaage and how its good, but I didn’t have the money for it,” said junior Andrew Lopes. “When I [went later], it was no longer there.”

Though the lunch service has received generally positive reviews, there are some Braves who still question prices in an economy that has seen food prices subject to inflation.

“When I first saw the price of a chicken bake, I thought it would have at least included a drink, but when I got it, I felt like it was missing something,” said senior Evan Urbina. 

“The vendor that we have has the most control on the price of the food and what food we get,” said Vice Principal of Student Affairs Ms. Jen Schnorr. “We don’t have a hand in how food is chosen, but we are glad that students are appreciating the choices and selections.”

“We are doing our utmost to achieve perfect student satisfaction, and we are happy with all the support we have been getting.”
