Food Fights
In the 2007-2008 school year, 7th graders in the Stroudsburg Middle School participated in a food fight on the last day of school with lunch, which resulted in one teacher fracturing her leg and one student with a concussion. After this incident, more security guards have been dispatched into the Stroudsburg Intermediate Elementary School, Stroudsburg Middle School, Stroudsburg Junior High School, and Stroudsburg High School during lunch periods. Schools have threatened students who participate in a food fight with suspension or expulsion.

Famous quotes containing the words food and/or fights:
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
