Prices have gone up all over the place lately including at the school’s cafeteria. Gatorade has gone from $1.25 to $1.50. Cookies jumped $1 to $1.50. Sandwiches and wraps increased from $2.50 to $3. Last year, pizza was $2, and it is now $2.50. “I should have raised the prices in the middle of last year but I never raise prices [during] the middle of the year,” said Pam Carlino, director of food service. “I always do it at the beginning of the year so it’s not so shocking.”
