LUNCH NEWS!
Students on the K-8 campus will soon have another lunch choice. Beginning Monday, November 4, students will have an "Opaa to Go" option. Rather than go through the serving line, a student can choose to get a grab and go lunch that will include things like a PB&J, a fruit, a vegetable, a dessert and a milk. The menu for grab and go will be:
Monday: PB&J
Tuesday: Ham & Cheese Rollup
Wednesday: PB&J
Thursday: Pizza Munchable
Friday: PB&J
Many students prefer this type of lunch, and this will allow them to get their lunch and skip the serving line!
Long Range Planning Survey
We want to send a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to fill out our Long Range Community Planning Survey. If you haven't participated yet, there's still time! Just go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/cleverplan
We want to hear from you!
We will keep the survey open until noon on Monday, November 4. The results will be compiled, studied, and shared with the public. As our district grows, we will continue to look for ways to improve facilities and provide opportunities for our students.
Thank you for your input!!
