Hot Lunch Program!

This optional lunch program offers our children fun lunch options and gives you a break from packing lunches once a week!  We'll once again be teaming with Bittersweet Kitchen and the Munch-a-Lunch online ordering platform

We're aiming to offer healthy lunch options throughout the school year. All proceeds from this program will benefit student programs and activities at the main & annex schools. 


Thank you in advance for your support! We hope you will enjoy the delicious and healthy lunches provided by Bittersweet Kitchen.  

Very Important Notes:

  • The deadline to order is every Wednesday at 11:59pm for the following week’s lunch service. For example: For our first lunch delivery this year on Thursday, October 5th, your order will need to be placed by Wednesday, September 27h at 11:59pm. The site is open and ready to accept orders for the 2023-24 school year.
  • Be sure to supply re-usable cutlery to your child(ren) as it is not provided by the school or food vendor

Our hot lunch program has always been well-received, and we thank you in advance for your continued support!  Please feel free to email any comments or suggestions to the Hot Lunch Coordinator at dickenspac.hotlunch@gmail.com 

Thank You!

Sincerely,
Dickens PAC
