Starting on Tuesday, Nov. 7, Theatre’s Chick-fil-a will be starting a new (or old) way for Falcons to receive their tasty, delicious sandwiches. The process will be going back to its old method of selling Chick-fil-a, without having to pre-order.
“They [the school] changed it the first time, because…[Chick-fil-a] was having to compete with food from the cafeteria, which is against district rules. Any food competing with the cafeteria has to meet certain regulations, and in order to go around those regulations Timber creek had to start [having kids] pre-order the meals,” said Talon reporter Paige Greene who previously covered district food regulations in a series last year.
The reason why Timber Creek is stopping the pre-orders is because Chick-fil-a will be going to change the sandwiches a little bit in order to meet regulations for competitive foods.
This way students can still continue to eat from the popular fast food chain, while no longer have to go through the pain of pre-ordering it, and Theatre’s boosters club can still continue to use the fast food chain to help kids in theatre.
On Dec.16, 2014 Theatre booster club started using Chick-fil-a as a way to raise funds for students in theatre to earn scholarships at the end of the year. In 2016, the club was able to raise over $20,000 in order for kids to attend theatre summer camps.
