Union City, Tenn.–The Union City High School student body and staff were rewarded today with free unlimited chicken wings, ice cream and soft drinks for having no in-school physical altercation issues last semester.
Principal Jacob Cross planned the treat for those in his building and said he intended on feeding “around 500.”
“It’s a pretty popular day – not many (students) bring their lunch,” Cross grinned.
The incentive tradition was started a few years ago, according to the UCHS top administrator.
The student body then filed to the gymnasium, where more than 150 were rewarded with the Tornado Pride Award.
There were random drawings for $200 in cash for each grade. Students who qualified for the honor were then given the rest of the day off from classes.
In order to qualify for Tornado Pride status, students must have no detentions or unexcused absences and have no grade under a C.
