School Lunch

Three students enjoying lantern lunch

Hot lunch will be served four days a week in the 2024–2025 year on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays! Hot lunch is thirty minutes long, from 11:30 to noon. Wednesdays will be a cold lunch day sent from home. On Wednesdays, as you may know, the kitchen is used to prepare Senior Lunch, and this program has been a staple of the community for many years. We would like to see this continue, so we ask that you send a cold lunch from home on Wednesdays for your child(ren). As such, we will be eating outside every Wednesday (weather permitting) in September, October, and maybe into November.

Also starting in the month of November, on the first Wednesday of every month until the end of the school year, we will be eating lunch by lantern. Lantern Lunch was created quite by accident, when we experienced a power outage in April—lucky us! We enjoyed the experience so much that we are adding this fun twist to our lunch program!
