Lunch Survey
We are coming close to the end of the first half of our new lunch program from J and M Caterers, and we would love to get your feedback.
We are asking K-8 parents to take a few minutes to complete a very short, anonymous survey regarding the program. We are especially interested in hearing from you if you DO NOT currently order lunch for your child(ren).

Just click on the link below to access the survey. We would appreciate if just one parent per family would complete the survey by February 12th. Your responses will help us in planning the program for the 2016-17 school year.
