The big three. These three popular fast food locations are considered healthier and as a result have seen great success in recent months. "Jimmy John seems to be the healthiest place," Ben Olson says. "I honestly get food by how I’m feeling. If I want a burger I’ll go to McDonalds, If I want Mexican, Chipotle. It all depends on how I’m feeling."

The central location of the Pony Market makes it convenient and puts it in a place that many pass through every day. As a result, people can visit before school or when they are passing in between classes. "We had that space open so we decided to use it," student council member Eve Thompson says .

The Pony Market is open from 7:45 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on both Wednesdays and Fridays. The hours allow for student access during any hour and passing time throughout the day. "I think it's a great addition to the school. Now that I know about it I will use it all the time," junior Calvin Brinda says.

Students now have the ability to purchase Clif bars, Slim Jim's and gum during the school day. Instead of having to stop at vending machines between classes, students can stop at the Pony Market. "People need food during the day, people want to be able to buy stuff cheaper than it is other places," student council member Eve Thompson says.

The Pony Market sells a variety of different apparel items. Short sleeve shirts cost $10, sweatshirts cost $25 and sweatpants cost $20. "It's a great opportunity to sell some stuff for school spirit that doesn't cost a million dollars," special education teacher Dusty Dennis says.

MIA showcases works that they have obtained over the 100 years that they have been open. "I got to see pieces that I hadn't seen. I got to see the original," said senior Paige Polzin.
