I can’t believe we are in the middle of October already! Food service has returned to how things looked before COVID and we are following the NSLP with students paying for lunch and milk unless they qualify for free and reduced meals. We are proud to provide free breakfast every day including some popular new menu items.

They also learned how to use a fire extinguisher from the Fairfax Fire-Rescue-Ambulance Department and bus safety with Mr. Johnson. (Submitted photos)
