Throughout this month be sure to write a thank you note to our school librarian, Mrs. Richardson, for doing an exceptional job!
Lunch Choices… Back by Popular Demand
Based on the initial feedback received from parents
at the District hosted LCAP meetings, the Nutrition
Services Department will be offering two lunch
choices per day at all elementary schools. This
change will begin on Monday, April 14, 2014. In
addition, we will be offering new lunch items
including Pasta with Meatballs, Egg Roll with Rice,
Mini Tacos, and Chicken Drumstick with Sweet
Potato Puffs. To increase variety, we will also be
offering brunch for lunch entrees such as French
Toast Sticks with Sausage. Student favorites such as
Pizza, Macaroni and Cheese and Chicken Tenders
with Green Beans will also be on the menus. We look forward to serving your children!
