We are in contact with other area schools that
have also used Judy’s Kitchen and we are all in the
same situation right now; scrambling to find
another vendor (that will stay within our price
range and will provide healthy meals daily) is our
biggest challenge.
Please plan to pack a lunch, daily, with your
children at least until the end of February except
on days you ordered pizza.
We thank you for your continued patience and will
update you when more information becomes
available.
