School Lunch Accounts Need to Be Paid Up!

Please pay your school lunch account by May 14, 2010.

The white kiosk in the cafeteria takes cash and gives a receipt. Every time a student inputs his/her Personal Identification Number into the keypad at the front of the cafeteria line, the lunch balance is shown. Unpaid lunch balances can have a negative impact on our school, so please make every effort to pay for your lunch.
