Holy Week
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ~ Ruth Haley Barton

Low Lunch Balances
This is a friendly reminder that students should have a positive lunch balance. Students that have lunch accounts with negative balances that are more than $10 will not be allowed to take extra entrees or additional milks. Friendly reminder that only a meal is free, and a meal includes a main entree, fruits, vegetables, and a milk. Extra entrees and extra milks are an additional charge. When a student’s lunch balance does become more than $10 in the negative, the homeroom teacher will talk with the student explaining how the lunch balances need to be positive in order for the student to order extra food or drinks. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact the school at any time.
