Changes For Term 2 Hot Lunch Program
In the last year the school has grown our current hot lunch system. Therefore, for the upcoming Term the PTL is introducing a new company called The Lunch Lady. The Lunch Lady provides a full service program from maintaining the ordering website, collecting individual payments, handling food labels and delivery/organizing of the food bins.
They offer locally sourced nutritious options that are properly portioned.
The Lunch Lady has been preparing and delivering individually catered hot and cold lunches to children at school since 1993. They serve thousands of children every school day through nearly 50 kitchens, in 5 provinces.
Please watch for January’s Monday Notes where we will post a step by step guide on how to order your hot lunch for February.
In the meantime we encourage all parents to visit www.thelunchlady.ca for more information.
