At the Oscars, CODA also won the Best Picture.

      • Plastic spoons at Jefferson are both environmentally and financially costly because the cafeteria staff are making students pay for spoons. “It was shocking, because it’s never really happened before. You get the idea that utensils would be free, since the lunches are free, so this doesn’t really make sense,” freshman Zamzama Ahmadi said.
