What’s For Lunch?
By Samantha DePriest
With the start of our school year upon us, our SAGE Dining chefs have been eagerly preparing a wide variety of delicious and nutritious menus for our students and staff. All of our cafeteria’s remain nut-free and are safe for our students and staff.
We hope that by helping to educate our families about the SAGE Spotlight program, it will foster conversations and our students will learn how to make healthy choices during meal times. Studies show that when our students eat healthy lunches, they perform better in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. Understanding the SAGE Spotlight colors helps us all to make good choices and eat a well balanced diet. To learn more about the Spotlight Program, please click the link below for an informative video.
During the first weeks of school our teachers will be discussing with our students three important topics with regards to school lunch:
Importance of a well balanced plate
Help us reduce food waste
The importance of washing hands and using hand sanitizer stations before touching food serving utensils
One of the highlights of our students day is welcoming our parents come on campus and enjoy lunch time with their students. To allow for our students to learn lunch room procedures, parents are invited to to eat in September using the sign up links that can be found under Resources on Blackbaud.
We are looking forward to your upcoming lunch visits on campus. In an effort to help you plan ahead, below is the link for SAGE Dining Menu or simply download the Touch of SAGE app on your phone. For your convenience, you may pre-purchase your meal online through the Blackbaud Buy Now link below. For $12 you will have unlimited trips to the hot food stations, colorful salad bar, and refreshing drink stations. On Wednesdays and Fridays, you will receive a dessert with your meal as well.
We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to try SAGE and sample their convenient, delicious, and nutritious meals offerings. We love having our parents on campus and can't wait to see you soon!!
