Today, we got to appreciate the opportunity for students to sit down together at a table and eat lunch. Our high school students haven’t done this since March 13, 2020. Sometimes, great things can be some of the simplest things.
On a sidenote, a lunch menu for this month is in the photos. Also, there is always a nacho bar, pizza, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps, and prepared salads in addition to whatever the rotating entrées are. Students get salad, fruits, vegetables, and milk with all options.
Lunch is free for all students this year. There are some items available à la carte that do have an additional cost.
Thank you food-service for providing so many great options for our students. We know that access to nutritious meals help our students learn better.
There are so many things we are excited for this year and our after school program is one of them. This will start during the third week of school.
