$2 ice cream cones for students in August at The Screamery

$2 ice cream cones for students in August at The Screamery

Aug 7, 20201 min read

Going “back to school” has different meanings for every student. To some, it’s getting that new backpack or pair of sneakers, and to others it’s getting to mingle with classmates you’ve never met before or haven’t seen in a while.

This year is a little different and The Screamery is hoping to ease students into the school year with $2 ice cream cones throughout the month of August.

All students can grab a cone for $2 from noon – 5 p.m. at any of the four Tucson locations.

There are plenty of unique flavors to savor, too, so let your student take a break from their computer screens and order something new, or perhaps something simple like Gilbert Gottfried’s favoriteplain ol’ chocolate.

The ice cream shops are also taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe, as well as offering pick-up and delivery options. Ice cream lovers are required to wear a face mask when stopping by, too.

The Screamery has four Tucson locations. For more information, visit thescreamery.com.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
