Lunch Calendar Change for Monday/Tuesday
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolPlease note that the hot lunch offering for Monday and Tuesday are being switched – Monday will be Chicken Tenders and Tuesday will be Maple Glazed Pancakes.
Also, as a reminder, if your child is bringing lunch from home and just purchasing milk at lunchtime, that milk purchase is NOT covered under the (free hot lunch) grant through the town/state. You will need to fund their lunch account for those purchases. You can do this by sending in cash or a check (made out to Manchester Hot Lunch Program) in an envelope with the child’s name or by logging in to the EZSchoolPay system and paying it online.
