Thanksgiving Lunch Is November 7
The Child Nutrition Department is preparing for Thanksgiving luncheons across the District. Did you know that we served almost 871 pounds of turkey last year during our luncheons?
Family members are invited to join elementary school students for the special holiday meal. The cost is $4 per adult and $3 per child. Please go online to make your reservation and pay for your Thanksgiving meal.
Go to https://raypeck12.revtrak.net/. If you have not used Revtrak before, you will be asked to create an account. Once you log in, select the "Thanksgiving Reservation" link. Select your child's school and then indicate the number of meals. (Do not make a reservation for your child - the student's meal will be charged to his or her meal account.)
