Hot lunch program: Real Food for Real Kids

It's not too late to sign up for the hot lunch program at McMurrich offered by Real Food for Real Kids! You can sign up any time on their website, and start getting hot nutritious lunches for your children just in time for the cold weather.

Here's how it works:

Kids bring reusable lunchware, cutlery, and a drink from home.
The Lunch Club Coach dishes out lunch, encouraging kids to explore new foods.

Kids dig in (and get seconds if available), then head out for recess.

Kids bring home lunchware for washing, and the whole cycle repeats itself.

Lunches cost from $4 to $5.25, and are served on Mondays and Wednesdays. For more information or to sign up,  visit www.rfrk.com.

Mark your calendars - Holiday Concert coming up!

This year's McMurrich Winter Holiday Concert will take place on the 11th of December.

You can find this and other information in the McMurrich Google Calendar, including Upcoming Parent Council meetings, PA days, pizza lunches, and other events.
