Wow! This weekβs lunches were a hit β we had more students purchase meals than last week! π
Did you know that out of our 30 lunch menu options, only one (the corndog) is a true heat-and-serve item? Our Food Services team has been kicking it up this year with more scratch-made and in-house prepared meals, and weβre so excited about it.
This weekβs menu featured:
π΄ Corndogs
π΄ Sloppy Joes
π΄ Chicken Pozole (a teacher favorite!)
π΄ Teriyaki Chicken & Fried Rice
π΄ Pepperoni Pizza (our most popular choice with students!)
Every tray is pictured with fresh options from our updated salad bar, which now offers even more variety for students.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to our Food Service Manager, Shantel Freeman at sfreeman@mmk.wednet.edu
.
We canβt wait to share whatβs on the menu next week!

We are so proud to celebrate and recognize ALL of our fantastic fall sports teams:

π£ Our spirited Cheer squad
Watching our grade levels compete in football and volleyball challenges was pure joy - the enthusiasm, teamwork, and school spirit our students showed was simply outstanding! Every single student brought their A-game and made us incredibly proud.
