The October 17 Hot Lunch item has CHANGED. If you ordered Potstickers on that day, Pal Joey’s has changed October 17 to instead be Loaded Tater Tots. If you log into the Family Portal, you will already see that change reflected in the Lunch menu.
You have two options for that day if you already ordered:
- Do nothing. Your child will receive Loaded Tater Tots on Oct 17…yummmm
- Change your order. Log into Family Portal to the Lunch menu and after clicking the “+CREATE WEB ORDER” button, put a zero for the Oct 17 Loaded Tater Tots and add a 1 to another item during the month. Click the button at the bottom of that page to submit the order—you will not be double-charged for anything you previously ordered—the system will merely update your lunch days.
If you have not ordered Hot Lunch yet for the month of October, the order window will close this coming Monday, SEPTEMBER 25! Get your orders and payments in! Late orders will not be accepted.

Flag Day Monument - Please Donate
Immanuel is collecting money in a donation jar in the school office for Batavia's new Flag Day Monument, which will be dedicated on Sunday, October 1, during festivities planned from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Our goal is to collect $300 by September 29th so that we can have a brick with our name and logo included as part of the Flag Day Monument.
On June 14, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Flag Day Proclamation, declaring a national day each year for celebrating the American flag. This day came about largely through the efforts of Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand, a Batavia dentist who worked tirelessly his entire life to teach American citizens of all ages the history, value and importance of our nation’s flag. Dr. Cigrand lobbied several American presidents to declare a day each year to recognize the importance of this symbol of American liberty and freedom. Finally, on June 14, 1916, President Wilson made this day of recognition a reality.
Mayor Schielke, the Fox Valley Patriotic Organization, and the Batavia Flag Day Committee are all so thrilled to finally be able to cut the ribbon for the Flag Day Monument dedicated to our American flag, Flag Day, and Dr. Bernard Cigrand.
