The open campus of Mamaroneck High School is a freedom valued by the student body, especially during lunch. Eating lunch is the time to slow down, laugh, and tell stories while eating good food. Making independent decisions, such as selecting food from a menu allows you and your friends to enjoy a new experience together. Although eating with friends is a great way to relieve stress and to catch up on each other’s lives. Eating at local establishments with friends is a fun practice, it can also become very costly. Some local businesses offer student discounts to high school students showing ID, which can save students plenty of money when eating off-campus. Buying lunch from small businesses is also convenient given that the COVID-19 restrictions at MHS restrict students from eating indoors. Kids have the opportunity to get fresh air and quality food while staying safe.
