​Lunchtime at Mumford good for more than just lunch

Students play giant Uno while they eat lunch in the Mumford cafeteria on Oct. 25. Giant Jenga and giant Connect 4 are also popular. 

Two years ago at Mumford lunch was only 30 minutes long, but starting last year, the lunch hour is really an hour long.

During the short lunch period students barely had enough time eat. Now they have time for much more than just eating, and they’ve found lots of options.

Many students get their lunch and play games in the cafeteria like Uno, Connect Four, or spades. Others head for classrooms to get extra help or catch up on assignments. The gym is available for basketball and the counseling center is open for students who need to use computers. Lunchtime karaoke is a big hit with everyone in the lunchroom singing along with administrators.
