Tuesday: Taco Lunch Sale
The 3rd graders are doing a taco lunch sale to raise funds for Be An Angel, a charity which helps children with special needs.
The taco lunch will be on
Tuesday, April 14. Montessori through middle school students may participate in the lunch. To do so, students must bring
at least $5 with them on that day to purchase the lunch,
which is a beef or bean hard shell taco (which includes cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes) with chips and salsa. Students may also choose to just have the taco without beef/beans in it. The beef will be
zabiha/halal.
For each additional taco a student wants, they should bring $2. Therefore, if a student wants three tacos, they would need to bring $9 ($5 for the first taco with chips and salsa and $2 for each additional taco).
