The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Hot Lunch Committee is proud to offer our students and staff a daily Hot Lunch Program. The purpose of the Hot Lunch Program is to provide a convenient school lunch option for students and staff . Hot lunch is an optional program. If you do not sign-up and pay for a hot lunch, your child should bring a sack lunch to school. All lunch containers should be labeled with the student’s name. Soda and glass of any kind are not permitted.
In response to feedback received in the past, the Hot Lunch Committee seeks to provide a variety of nutritious meals. We contract with multiple local vendors to provide a selection of food choices throughout the week. We work to negotiate with vendors to secure competitive pricing so families have an affordable school lunch option.
The Hot Lunch Program is supported primarily by volunteers. Volunteers who maintain the hot lunch Web site, track ordering, handle the deposit, solicit and contract new vendors, shop for a la cart items, and help serve the lunches. If you are interested in volunteering to support PRA’s Hot Lunch Committee, please contact one of the hot lunch coordinators.
The Hot Lunch Program does not provide refunds for any reason, including but not limited to snow days, missed lunches, missing lunch sheets, etc. In the event we are able to cancel the vendor and avoid the hot lunch charge, the funds collected for that lunch will be retained by PTO to support the hot lunch program. Please ensure your child knows when and if to expect a lunch or beverage provided through the Hot Lunch Program. If your child is missing his hot lunch sheet or milk card or there is some other issue related to his hot lunch, please ensure he informs his teacher, aide, or the hot lunch supervisor ( Kathy Johnson or Cheryl Tiedgen) before or during lunch.
Sincerely,
The Hot Lunch Committee
