Nutrition Program News
Please note that, due to availability, we had to make a change to the menu for this week. Thursday, we will be serving the bagels, cream cheese, and vegetables that were planned for the Tuesday. Thanks for your understanding!
Here is the menu for next week and a sign up list for helpers. We need help from 8:50 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday to prepare food and deliver it to classes. We are also looking for a long-term helper to be our Appliance Manager (ok, there is no way to make it sound glamorous). We need someone to check the fridges once a week and clean them as necessary. Not glamorous but necessary!!
