The commercial food industry is experiencing unprecedented labor shortages due to Covid-19. As a result of these shortages, many manufacturers cannot produce the products that we and other school districts throughout the country normally use. We are not aware of these shortages until the day of our food order delivery. Due to the shortages changes will be made as needed to the menu. To keep communication to our staff and parents as current as possible, we will only be posting menus through the school website. Under each school a menu section is available for the most current and up to date menu. Thank you for your continued patience with this issue.
Homecoming buttons will be sold during lunchtime tomorrow and Friday! A table will be set up for students to stop by as they head into the lunchroom. Buttons are $1 each and will get students or guardians into the Legend (Monday) and/or the Powderpuff/Burning of the "W" (Thursday) next week. Note: the buttons will not get you into the football game on Friday.
Parents! Please check out this wonderful program. This program is for children who will be in Kindergarten in 2021-2022. A computer and lessons will be supplied at no cost; and if you participate regularly, you will get to keep the computer forever!

The PTO is fundraising through SchoolStore again this year! Your student will bring home information today about how to help our school. All it takes is six or more emails to your family or friends and your student will be awarded a "hugger" like in the photo.
