Outside Drinks Not Allowed In the School

     As we all know, it is starting to look a lot like winter outside and that means hot chocolate, sweaters, leggings, boots and fuzzy socks. Many students at Chadron High School drink hot chocolate, coffee, and hot tea in the mornings but are not allowed to bring it in the school. The Chadron High School policy is that there are no outside drinks allowed in the school unless it comes in a clear container, and it is water.  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to bring our hot drinks in the classroom or even have our school sell it?
     Mr. Mack states, that he has to support the policy in place with not having drinks in the school expect for clear liquids. "If the policy were to change I would support it, but it's is my job to follow the policy in place. Before school and after school I think that would not be a big deal, but during school you can not take a big cup of coffee in as a student," said Mr. Mack.
    If the policy were to change he would be 100% on board with it. It is his job to support the policy, but in his own personal opinion he would be okay with that. He says, "I personally would change the policy about not having food in our classrooms. I would not support much outside food in the school. I want to show good eating habits. I do not want to see students eating fast food etc..." 
    He feels that selling hot drinks during the school day could be possible, but it would have to be okay with Pepsi and Lunch Time Solutions. He said, "If we worked well with them and had the support from our staff this could very much happen."
