On Friday, November 7, F. A. Day students got to enjoy ice cream after lunch. Witnesses said that there were shoving and pushing in the route to the ice cream. So many students were trying to get the ice cream, lunch monitors tried to keep everything under control, but the students still pushed to get food. This same event occurred two other times, so the entire schedule had to be changed and the school decided that ice cream was a disaster, so they ended it. “I think that it’s not fair that other kids have to suffer because others are shoving and pushing. And because of other people's actions the whole school has to take consequences,” says Niambiri, a 6th grade student.
After the ending of ice cream in the Cafe for all students, many students and teachers had opposing opinions. “It would be better if it did not even happen in the first place,” said Danny in 6th grade. We spoke to Mr. Moloney, an 8th grade civics teacher who was a lunch monitor during one of the lunch periods with ice cream. When I asked him how the ice cream went, he replied, “Lunch is a chaotic thing in general, and on that day they tried to make it twice as chaotic in the same amount of time.” Some students were for the denouement of ice cream sales because it was interfering into their lunch. An anonymous 7th grader said, “I think [selling ice cream] was very stupid and it was dumb to do.” “I didn't like that it took forever to take their ice cream and leave and couldn't get my food,” said an anonymous 8th Grader.
When asked about the Ice cream, Ms. Philbin said, "The students were out of control, and either way we would have ended it due to the supply."
