FEAST PHOTOS

ALPHABET DAY

Thank you families for your food donations to Metropolitan Ministries. We contributed 682 pounds of food for the needy. Way to go!

Thank you for all the Operation Child Shoeboxes this year! You were all very generous!

We donated 158 boxes this year!!!

Water Bottles

Don' forget to send your child with a water bottle everyday to school.

Our water fountains are equipped with bottle filling stations. Water bottle fillers are located inside the building and outside on the playground.

All lunches are $4.75 and includes an entre', side, fresh fruit and milk/water bottle. Copies of your menu choices come home in Family Folders before the month begins. Our vendors are Dash of Salt & Pepper and Precinct Pizza.

If your child forgets their lunch, they will be provided with an emergency lunch. This may include a hot lunch or a grape uncrustable with chips, fresh fruit and a milk/water. Your Tuition Express account will be charged the $4.75 for lunch.

Lunches are not billed until the end of the month so students can add or take away lunch menu items. Little taste buds sometimes think they will like something and then don't. If that is the case, call Ms. Patti at her at 813-558-9343 Ext. 118 or email her at Pharmon@familyofchristtampa.com and she will change your child's order for future weeks.
