Please note that there are no drinks included with special lunch, and your student will need to bring their water bottle to lunch.
All PTO Special Lunch meals meet the nutritional guidelines specified by the National School Lunch Program, thus portion size is appropriately defined. Special Lunch meals are not screened for allergens. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the meals, please contact the vendor directly. The school cafeteria operated by OrganicLife will be open during Special Lunch offering limited menu selections for purchase. As always, students may bring lunch from home or parents may drop off lunch to the school office that morning.Thank you!

PTO Mission
While we host several fundraising events, the mission of the PTO is to have events where our children can have fun, parents can meet other parents and we can bridge the gap between school and home. We truly want to have a sense of community among all our families. We welcome you to the community and are so excited to have you become part of the family. When you sign up to attend events, buy Spirit Wear, participate in Dessert Day, Special Lunch, or donate, we are able to support our community in new and creative ways, including:
- supporting the school by purchasing needed Wish List items
- creating community among our parents, students, teachers, and staff
Please consider volunteering or donating items for events. We appreciate your support.
