LUNCHROOM NEWS
The lunch fees for 2008-09 are : Full-$1.75, Reduced-$0.40, Milk-$0.35, and Extra's-$0.75. Please send lunch fees on the first day of the school week in an envelope with the student's name, grade, amount being paid and the days you are paying for. Students are allowed to charge one lunch per week that must be paid the following Monday. Unpaid charges will result in the student receiving a "Nutritious Lunch" which consists of a carton of milk and a nutrition bar.
Breakfast will be provided again this year at no cost to students beginning on the first day of school.
Studies have shown that when you miss breakfast your metabolic rate slows down and causes you to become hungry and have less energy throughout your day.
Note to Parents: Teachers and Staff cannot and will not heat up students packed lunches. We have a strict time schedule for serving lunches and eating lunch. It is not possible to accommodate students who bring food that must be warmed up for lunch. Please be advised that if you send your students with a lunch that needs to be warmed up, it will not be warmed up. Thank you for your understanding.
