Hello St. Margaret’s Families!
We’re excited to have our hot lunch program again this year. You may have noticed the calendar is available for ordering, however, we are in the process of adjusting the offerings to include some old favorites and some new options, starting in November.
If you already have placed orders for the entire year, not to worry, you will be credited for all orders, which you can then use for the new calendar options.
If you haven’t placed any order yet this year, and want to get started, please do for the September & October options.
We expect to have November till the end of the school year offerings set by the end of September, so stay tuned for updates.
Thank you for your patience
