The cafeteria is officially too quiet without you. 🦁
Our United High School Lion is currently sitting alone in the lunchroom, staring at rows of empty chairs and waiting for the school year to return. There are no clattering trays, no bursts of laughter, and no one around to high-five. The space is completely still, and our mascot is counting down the days until the building is full again. We cannot wait to see everyone back in these seats, bringing life and school spirit back to the cafeteria very soon
