New Lunch Menu Info and Procedures
Dear Fern Parents,
As you are aware, the decision was made in late September to cancel the Fern School Food program. Following this decision a food committee was established to develop options for a new food program at Fern. In the short term, the committee has established a contract with Choice Children’s Catering so that parents can continue to purchase hot lunches for their children. Over the long term the committee will continue to explore options for a school-based hot lunch program, but we are pleased to be able to provide parents with this option in the interim.
Choice Children’s Catering will begin delivering lunch to the school on Monday, November 8, 2010 at a cost of $3.85 per lunch, which includes 2% milk. Parents will receive a menu on a weekly basis, which must be returned to Vera Ciric in the school office no later than the Tuesday prior. For this first week only, you will be able to submit your form as late as Wednesday, November 3.
For the next few months you will have to submit your order every Tuesday for the following week. There will be no lunches available on a drop-in basis – you *must* order in advance.
Following is the menu for the week of November 8. Please circle each day that you wish to order lunch and return this form with a cheque made payable to Fern Avenue P.S. Food Program to the school no later than Wednesday, November 3. Lunch will be served in the cafeteria. Lunch passes will not be required; student names will be tracked in the cafeteria.
