More lunch choices=more full bellies=more students ready to learn all afternoon!
Today we launched a second hot lunch option for elementary students. The Minutemen meals (make your own pizza kit on Tuesday/Thursday or muffin/cheese stick/yogurt on Monday/Wednesday/Friday) will be a constant option to the rotating hot lunch menu. All of the sides stay the same for both lunches. Special thank you to our amazing cafeteria staff for making this change!

"Can" we do it? Yes, we CAN! 🎉 We did it—and then some! 🎉
Our elementary school families and staff donated 782 non-perishable food items to the Lexington Food Pantry, smashing our original goal of 250, and we did it simply through the act of being kind to others. Our hearts are warmed by the lesson this has taught our students and the collective excitement we shared all week watching the one table grow to two tables and beyond! We also used today's photo as a math lesson on estimating a total number of objects based off a picture of the total. Thank you to every student, family, and staff member who contributed. Your generosity truly makes a difference! If you are in need of food assistance this winter, please let us know so we can get you in touch with the food pantry volunteers.
