    Our Family Thanksgiving Luncheon will take place on Monday, November 11, 2024. Crave-It Nutrition will be the caterer for those families choosing to purchase a thanksgiving meal. Parents can order directly on their Crave-It Account (Guide How to Order a Thanksgiving Meal). As always, families may choose to bring in their own food to eat during the Thanksgiving Luncheon. An email was sent out on November 1, 2024, so that families can begin choosing what table they would like to sit at during their designated lunch period.
