Thank you!
Over the 2017-2018 school year we served an astonishing 22,641 meals and 22% of these were subsidized. We introduced a monthly salad bar, continued to support local vendors and worked hard to reduce waste through reusable dishes, composting and feeding our food scraps to a family of pigs in Royston. Special thanks to our Lunch Coordinator, Thea Cockerton, for making this all happen, and to our kitchen volunteers who contributed over 200 hours this year.
