Parent Council has listened to the many suggestions you made regarding the Hot Lunch Program and in an effort to improve we have initiated several key changes to our hot lunch service.

We have hired a new catering service to help offer a better assortment of healthy menu items to students for lunch. We hope you and your children enjoy the new caterer and we want you to know we are working hard to provide your child with a quality lunch that tastes great and meets Texas nutritional guidelines. When choosing what to eat for lunch, making a healthy choice is really important. Eating a variety of healthy foods gives you energy to grow, learn and play.

Hot Lunch is supporting the school’s Green Team project to make St. Clement’s School GREEN. We are proud to announce that we will be using 100% biodegradable containers, utensils and napkins. Thanks to our students for encouraging Parent Council to be earth friendly. We realize that the expense per meal had to increase to use more earth friendly products; however the students feel it is a price worth paying to do our part in reducing waste.

Lastly, we will now offer two different serving stations (one will be a portable food kiosk) with two trained service providers at each station to enhance the efficiency of our hot lunch service. Parent Council has also purchased two refrigeration units from which to dispense cold milk and water. It is our goal to allow all students the opportunity to get a great lunch quickly and still have plenty of time to eat. Improving our service and efficiency has also had an effect on the price of hot lunch.

We at Parent Council hope you find these improvements beneficial and graciously thank you for your support of the Hot Lunch Program. We will be eager to hear your feedback.
