Food shortages are nationwide, and our district is also experiencing unavailable items, or last minute replacements. Menus are subject to change, but we will do our best to notify you via website/social media if there are any changes. We appreciate your patience and understanding! We look forward to serving all of our students free breakfast and lunch this school year.
