In The Know:
New! Time to Order Lunch
February Lunch Menu is now available, view menu here.
Updated! Soup for Dinner
If you’re ordering Soup-for-Dinner, please drop-off a container or multiple containers, with lids, able to hold 40oz of soup (bags will be provided for bread). If your Junior High or Elementary student is bringing the soup home with them, they can pick it from the walk-in cooler in the kitchen where it will be labeled with their name. If your Primary/YCC/NIDO student is taking it home, the soup will be at the front desk and the front desk attendant will help make sure they have it with them. If you are coming in to pick-up your student from Friends Club, you can grab your soup from the kitchen walk-in cooler.

She will join us via Zoom on Tuesday, February 7 at 7:30 p.m. to lead an opportunity for adults to learn more about the Be SMART campaign and how our community can make a difference in keeping children safe by normalizing the expectation that guns are to be securely stored away from children. We will email the Zoom link to everyone on February 7. We hope to see you online!
