WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE?

By: Bradley Dillon & Alaunté Massrock

When students spend all morning in class, lunch becomes one of the most anticipated parts of the day. Not only does lunch provide nutrition, but it also gives students a chance to relax and connect with their friends. So, which lunch is enjoyed the most?

We surveyed twenty-two students, and out of all the possible dishes, two were on top: walking tacos and pizza. Pizza was the top choice, but the numbers were closer than you might think. Pizza received seven votes while walking tacos received five votes. Both foods offer a unique balance of variety and flavor, but walking tacos can be very messy. However, people like them because they are customizable. If you don’t like meat, you don’t have to get it, and you have many choices of sauces and toppings, making the walking taco a versatile and popular choice.

Overall, students enjoy lunches that are filling, flavorful, and flexible. School lunches are a vital part of students’ lives, keeping them fueled, focused, and ready to learn.

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
