Menu Change

Due to issues with food suppliers, there is a lunch menu change for Thursday September 30th. Lunch will be meatloaf sandwiches instead of stromboli’s. Currently there are supplier issues going on right now with food, paper products, and even silverware that we use. Unfortunately, this is probably just the beginning of menu changes for the school year. We will always try to let students know ahead of time, so they can plan accordingly for lunch.
