Cafeteria

We want to emphasis to everyone that we need several volunteers in the cafeteria, especially in the lower grades to help the children with straws, opening milk, and other items, to clean up spills, and keep everything organized. 

Those whose children stay for lunch are required to help in the lunchroom one day per month.  If parents cannot volunteer for lunchroom duty or get a replacement, they must pay $5.00 each month for this service.  This fee goes toward the stipend for regular daily help in the lunchroom, which is needed for proper supervision in the lunchroom and on the playground.  Please sign in so a record is kept of volunteer time. 

Without volunteers in the kitchen to work the serving line and to give out milk, one person has to do many jobs, which slows down the lunch line, giving students less time to eat their lunch.  If you are unable to schedule a regular day every month on the schedule, we are asking you to consider being on a call-in list when we do not have someone coming in on a certain day.  As always, if you are scheduled and cannot make it in, please try to get a substitute or call the cafeteria to let us know.  Currently, we do not have any listings on the call-in list. 

We cannot emphasize enough how important volunteers are to the success of our Lunch Program.  If you think you would like to be on a substitute list, or are available certain days of the month, we would like to hear from you.

The cost of lunch is $1.80 and includes milk.  The cost of milk is $.30.  The cost for healthier snacks will vary, but will generally be around $.50. 

Days Needed:  Any day, Monday through Friday
Times Needed:  Lunch is served from 11:15 to 12:30; if you cannot arrive until 11:30 or shortly thereafter, that is fine .. we're flexible!  We simply -need- your help!
