Donations:
Are you looking for a way to support students at your school? We currently could use your help in two ways:
-
My Hot Lunch Box donations – While ordering your child’s hot lunch box, you can create another student called “donation” and order lunch for students in need on any day.
-
Food Pantry donations – We will gladly take any non-refrigerated items for our food pantry to help students when a lunch is forgotten, or unable to be made for them.
Peer Ambassadors:
The Peer Ambassador program will continue this school year – click here to learn more about it. Interested students should apply by September 2 using this form: https://tinyurl.com/
Clubs
We will be hosting a club fair on August 19 during lunch so that students may be able to get information about all of the clubs we offer, and sign up to be a part of any of them.
