Calling all Mystery Dads

We are in need of Mystery Dads to staff the 2011-2012 school lunch schedule! For those of you new to St. Francis, the Mystery Dad program asks SFX fathers to choose a holiday during the school year and to serve lunch to our kids that day dressed in costume. Past groups have included Christmas, President's Day, and "Lunch Lady" themes. The kids really look forward to these fun events and the dad's identities are a secret until the lunch hour.

If you are interested in serving this year, please contact Ann Ponzi at ponzi@comcast.net. Our first Mystery Dad lunch will take place on Monday, Ocotber 31st. (Sorry, dads, but we couldn't resist sharing a few pictures from last year's lunches...)

Hot Lunch for Next Week/Field Day

Field day has been changed from Wednesday, June 8th to Friday, June 10th. If you ordered hot lunch for that Friday, it will be delivered on Wednesday instead. We will still have an all school lunch on Friday for field day. In short- your child will receive a lunch both Wednesday and Friday despite the Field Day switch.

If you have any questions, please email Kristen Gazda at kristengazda@sfx-school.org.

 

Hot Lunch Orders

Chef Fredy lunches are a convenient way for our SFX students to eat lunch.  However, we have been having some confusion lately over orders.  

Some students forget to pack their lunch or think they ordered from Chef Fredy on days that they did not. Unaware, they might take a lunch that they did not order. This results in another child that did order a meal for that day not having a lunch to eat.

Our Chef Fredy hot lunch program is not meant to be a back up lunch option for students that forget theirs. We do not order extra meals; the meals that are delivered are paid for by, and meant for, the students that ordered them. Please take a minute each morning to double check that your child ordered a lunch for that day. If not, be sure they come to school with a lunch packed. 

If you have any questions about your family's order, please don't hesitate to contact Kristen Gazda at kristengazda@sfx-school.org.

Thank you for your cooperation!

And the New Lunch Lady is...

Miss Kristen Gazda! Kristen is one of our Fourth Grade teachers and has recently assumed management responsibilities for the Lunch Program. After a successful pilot program last year, the school Lunch Program is here to stay and as such the management of the program has gone in-house and is now a staff position. 

Kim Langill remains at the helm of the volunteer component of the Lunch Program.  The Lunch Program would not be possible without the help of a terrific group of volunteers. If you are interesting in volunteering, please contact Kim at kimshe66@sbcglobal.net. 

A Message from the Lunch Lady

If you have not ordered for June but would still like to, I am accepting orders through Monday, May 24.

Note: There is an All School Special Lunch planned for Field Day. The menu will consist of Sub Sandwiches or PB & Js, chips, and cookies. This is being brought to you courtesy of the Lunch Program.

Over the summer we will be working with Chef Fredy on new menu items in addition to improving on current menu items.  Your input on the menu is always welcome.

Finally, I will be sending letters out to everyone with a credit balance, indicating the amount of your credit and giving you options: receive a check back, carry the credit over into next year, or donate the amount of your credit and any additional money to the Lunch Scholarship Program.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please email the Lunch Lady.
