Snow Day Lunch
Info./Announcements
Some parents across the
district have asked if there is a rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu
on the day following a snow day. There is no rule as the menu for that
day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep
the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered.
Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) has decided to
provide an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District
News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering
will be the day following the snow day. This information will be
available the day of the snow day.

term of Community Enrichment are posted! Please join us for Introduction to Italian,
