We are asking families that are so inclined to donate to a financial aid fund that we are establishing to help cover the costs for families that may not be able to afford full tuition.

We do not currently have a kitchen facility to do so. A healthy lunch should be provided each day in easy-to-access containers for your child.
9. I heard you have a few rules about food allowed at the school. Why is that?
We place a high priority on our school food policy because we recognize its power to:
Fuel learning: Healthy meals support our school’s core mission of education, especially when it comes to boosting students’ concentration, focus and cognitive function. A vast body of research shows that improved nutrition in schools leads to increased focus and attention, improved test scores and better classroom behavior. In addition to staying alert during class, eating a healthy diet helps children fight off illnesses, and grow into strong, healthy adults.
Support healthy habits and consistent messages: Nutritious food at school helps students develop lifelong healthy eating habits. It also contributes to a culture of wellness at school, reinforcing nutrition education messages from teachers and administrators. We hope that eating healthy food at school will also increase our school’s connectedness and reinforce to our students, their families and our community that students’ health and well-being are valued.
