PAC Meeting September 26, 2016 - please see details below.
---------------------
Munch A Lunch!
Hot lunch ordering is open for Session 1 ("Fall"). Click to open registration window on the school website. The program offers once per week lunches for students (with a few variations to accommodate the school calendar) and is a fantastic fundraiser for the PAC, with all the proceeds directly benefitting the students at Canyon Heights Elementary.
- We will be featuring 4 lunch options in the Fall session - Foodie Kids, Boston Pizza, Sushi Katsu, and Subway/Booster Juice. We have added a couple of new treat options to each lunch theme as well - freshly baked banana bread and delicious chocolate zucchini loaf! We have added a new feature this session where parents can order different items for each lunch type; for example you can order a cheese pizza on Pizza Day and then pepperoni for the next Pizza Day.
- Please note that payment must be made at the time of ordering; orders without payment will be cancelled one week prior to the first lunch date.
- Attention Kindergarten Parents: The Kindergarten teachers have requested for their students to start hot lunch later in the school year to give students the chance to settle into the school routine first.
- Please direct any questions regarding hot lunch to canyonhotlunch@gmail.com and our volunteers will respond in 24 hours.
Also...
The Munch A Lunch Program allows parents to register for PAC events, such as the upcoming Ice Cream Social this Thursday. When parents register on the Munch A Lunch page (the lunch ordering is optional), it makes responding to PAC event invitations easy, and helps us plan for volunteers and food!
