FROM THE CAFETERIA
Our cafeteria staff is hard at work putting together the lunch menu for our students. Along with a daily hot lunch selection, we will once again offer custom made salads, fresh fruit, healthy snacks like yogurt and cheese sticks, cookies, milk, and juice, just to name a few. All food served and sold will be NUT FREE in accordance with our nut free policy. Please be sure to login to RenWeb on August 12th to see all the delicious offerings and pre-order your child's lunch. As we begin the school year, Monarchs will not eat in the dining hall. Instead, lunches will be delivered directly to their classrooms. Please make sure you order your child's lunch the day before by 1:00pm to allow the cafeteria staff to properly plan. Also, visit https://stmm-nc.client.renweb.com/pwr/ to add funds to your child's lunch account. Please note, accounts will not be charged until after lunch is served. If you have any questions about our wonderful lunch program, please email Heather Blake.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL SUPPLY LISTS
It has come to our attention that some school supplies were mistakenly left off of the School Tool Box supply kits. Please note, the grade level supply lists posted on the Admissions page of our school website are CORRECT. If you ordered a supply kit, please cross check the supplies you receive with the lists posted on our website. There may be a few items to purchase on your own. Apologies for the inconvenience.
