Week of March 10, 2025

Coming Soon! The Raptor Food Truck!

We are thrilled to announce that our Food Truck will be opening to serve meals from April 7, 2025, to May 23, 2025! Meals will be available every Wednesday and Friday during this period. More details concerning the food program, including prices, ordering procedures, and menus will be made available in the next few weeks.

To ensure a smooth operation, we need volunteers to help deliver food to our K-3rd grade students. All other grades will have the opportunity to visit the food truck during their designated lunch periods.

We hope to have four volunteers on each serving date, and after the first week, we will regroup to assess the right level of volunteer support needed.

If you’re enthusiastic about helping us make this initiative a success, please reach out! Your support is greatly appreciated, and we can’t wait to serve our students!

If interested in volunteering, please contact:
