A free and reduced lunch program is available for those students who qualify using federal guidelines. Applications for this program are sent home to each family at the beginning of the school year. Additionally, these forms are readily available in the School Office throughout the year.

All lunches include choice of drink (chocolate milk, white milk, or juice). The cost of lunch is as follows:

  Lunch - Kindergarten thru 8th grade $ 3.50 per day (includes milk)
 

10 lunches   =   $ 35.00

 
 

20 lunches   =   $ 70.00

 
  Drink Price     .50 each
 

10 drinks   =   $  5.00

 
 

20 drinks   =   $ 10.00

 
                         

Students buying lunch or milk in the cafeteria must have a pre-paid cafeteria account.  Each student has an individual account - these accounts are not shared between siblings.  When a cafeteria payment is received in the office, the credit amount is put on the student's lunch account.  Each time the student purchases a lunch, $3.50 is deducted from his/her cafeteria account.  Note: milk is included with a purchased lunch.  The lunch accounts are updated on a daily basis.  A cafeteria statement will go home at the beginning of each month, along with the tuition and AfterCare statements in the family envelope.  If a cafeteria account gets below a $10. credit, the office may send a notice home with the student.  When making cafeteria payments, it is acceptable to combine siblings on one check as long as a note is included to indicate the amount for each student's cafeteria account.

Lunches are ordered in the classroom each day. The teacher will send a lunch count to the School Office.  All students must pack a lunch or eat a school lunch. Parents may not bring lunches from carry-out restaurants.

Parents are always welcome (and encouraged) to join the children during the lunch period. If you are planning to eat one of our delicious entrees, please call the School Office by 9:00 a.m. that day so the Cafeteria staff can ensure the proper quantity of entrees are prepared. Adult lunches cost the same as student lunches.

Snacks

Research shows that eating small, healthy snacks throughout the day helps maintain energy levels and improves a child's ability to concentrate for extended periods of time. In addition to the nutritionally sound and well-balanced lunches provided by SMS, we also encourage students to bring a healthy snack and water bottle from home each day. Water bottles should have a sports cap versus a cap that unscrews. Please do not freeze water bottles overnight. We ask that you not send 'messy' snacks, snacks that require utensils, or major clean up. Please avoid snacks with a high sugar or fat content. Candy, chips, cookies, cakes, etc. will not be allowed.
