Hot Lunch For All Children - From Day One of School

Hot Lunch Food PyramidChildren qualifying for free and reduced lunch may now enjoy ChoiceLunch meals because Encinal has qualified for the Federal Hot Lunch Program.

Part of qualifying for Federal Hot lunch is serving hot lunch every day of school, starting with the first day.

Please consider volunteering to help serve in those first few weeks so all the children new to ChoiceLunch may get their food easily and quickly. Volunteers earn a lunch credit.

And if you are planning to order ChoiceLunch on that first day of school, ChoiceLunch requires online signups before August 21.
