Exciting News for our lunch program in 2021-2022!

  • Our kitchen will be reimagined and a chef will be hired. 
  • Fresh, healthy, hot, and yummy meals will be served daily. 
  • We will continue to use our online ordering service, and we intend to offer "day of" ordering.
  • We will feature a hot lunch option, a salad bar option, or a boxed lunch option.

  • We will revitalize our recycling program for the Fall.
  • A garden that supplements the kitchen will be incorporated and composting will follow in phase 2.
