Pick-up days are Mondays and Thursdays from 7-9:30 a.m. Monday’s bags will have both breakfast and lunch for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday’s bags will have both breakfast and lunch for Thursday through Sunday. For pick up, you need to come to the back of the MS/HS to the kitchen loading dock. We are next to the ramp going in to the school, but not the ramp door. We have steps going up to our door and a #11 on the door. I just ask that if no one is out there, to please call either 952-200 4968 or 952-567-7147 and the food will be brought out to the dock for you.

A well-fed child is a happy child.
Happy Holidays!
