School Lunch

Three students enjoying lantern lunch

Hot lunch will be served four days a week in the 2025–2026 year on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays! Hot lunch is thirty minutes long, from 11:30 to noon. Wednesdays will be a cold lunch day sent from home. On Wednesdays, as you may know, the kitchen is used to prepare Senior Lunch, and this program has been a staple of the community for many years. We would like to see this continue, so we ask that you send a cold lunch from home on Wednesdays for your child(ren). As such, we will be eating outside every Wednesday (weather permitting) in September, October, and maybe into November.

November through April-ish, we eat lunch by lantern on Wednesdays! Lantern Lunch was created quite by accident, when we experienced a power outage —lucky us! We enjoyed the experience so much that we added this fun twist to our lunch program!

On cold lunch days, microwaves are available to heat up foods but not for cooking food. Milk is available with cold lunches for $.50, or you can send your own from home. Water or milk are the beverage choices for hot or cold lunch, so please do not send soda or juice. If you are having difficulties sending a cold lunch, please let us know as we can help.
