4/14 5 paragraph essey intro&ending are same Headline Contains interviews (made up) News worthy 3 supporting details Cafeteria critic coming into Mellon under cover and making bad remarks about the food and cleanliness area DUE: MONDAY 28th,2008

Billy Bob Joe, a subatute who works for UCLA (Under Cover Lunch Assocation) went to Mt lebanon's Mellon Middle School's cafeteria on April 26, 1995 to judge the lunch and cleanliness of the area. Mellon Middle Schools ladies serve lunch 3 times a day to the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. He discovered that the lunch room was discusting because the tables were not washed very well, the food was not cooked throughly, and the lines become very long while the student are waiting.

After the 6th grade lunch, he looked at the tables and under them also. The top was wiped down, but not very good. The benches colledted most of the crumbs and was sticky if a drink spilled. He interview a 7th grader, Catherine Sulecki who said, "The tables are not cleaned at all and the benches have to be wiped off to be free of crumbs. I hate having lunch right after the messy 6th graders."

During the 7th grade lunch, Billy Bob bought some chicken nuggets and a cheese sandwich. The sandwich was pink inside and the chicken nuggets bounced. He asked another 7th grader, Dan Smith if the sandwich was always pink and if the chicken always bounces. "Yes always." he said.

During the 8th grade lunch, the lines be can become incredable lenghts. Thre are 3 lines that you can go to and all of them were very long. Billy Bob was in one of the hot lunch lines and it took him 17 minutes. He only had 13 minutes to eat. The lunch ladies say " We try to move the lines fast," but a student, Sarah Dell says, " They don't care if we don't have a lot of time to eat."

When Billy Bob Joe took his trip to Mellon Middle School, he dicsovered that things were not going too well. The tables are not washed very well, the food was not cooked throughly and lines take at least 17 minutes to get your lunch. If he were to rate the lunch room inclueding the lunch, it would be a 4 out of 10.
