BSS Lunch Program

The Tuesday/Thursday Hot Lunch Program is back—and better than ever! 

Once again, we will be offering lunch to students on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We are excited to announce our partnership with Nelson’s Catering and the introduction of new, healthy, full menu options which include whole grain breads and pastas, lower fat meats and fresh fruits and/or vegetables served with each meal.  These meals align BSS with numerous local and national nutritional iniatives to improve the quality and balance of the food provided to our school children.  Meals will cost $3.25 each and will include an entrée plus 2 side items.

Here is a quick overview of the program:

• How To Order: An order form for the September-October cycle of lunches is attached.  Select meals for your child(ren) and fill out one form per child, being sure to include full classroom info (ie, teacher + room #). Order forms and payment are due by Fee Night—Wednesday, August 12^th. Please plan to bring your order form and payment to Fee Night or drop them off in the School Office by August 12^th if you are not able to attend Fee Night.

• How To Pay: Please make checks payable to “BSS – Hot Lunch Program.” If you have more than 1 child, please complete a separate form for each child but submit only 1 check per family.

• Refund Policy: We must provide counts to our caterer in 2-month blocks and are billed accordingly.  Due to the volume of lunches that are ordered, we cannot provide any refunds due to class parties, field trips, or student absences—NO EXCEPTIONS. 

• Snack Table: Students will be able to purchase snacks from the Snack Table again this year.  While we are still in the process of finalizing this year’s offerings, we expect most items will cost from $.25 to $.75.  Please remember to send your child with money on Tuesdays and Thursdays if they would like to buy a snack and note that snacks are meant to be supplemental to hot or packed lunches, not serve as meals in themselves.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this year’s Hot Lunch Program.  We look forward to a nutritious and delicious year of lunches for our students.

Sincerely,

Tracie Kelley &  Betsy Londrigan
