SCRIP Lunch Phone Calls

If you haven’t been able to make your SCRIP lunch phone call, please let the office know so that we can help your child if that is the case.  We need to give the business people time to be able to check their schedules to come and we need to be able to tell Mrs. LaVoy how many people to plan for lunch.  Thank you!
