·       Diversity Feast is Monday!  Please make sure your food is here by 12:15pm if it needs to be warmed.  If it’s ready and hot, make sure it’s here by 12:30.  If you are sending food in the morning, please make sure it's labeled with your child's name and teacher's name, and instructions for reheating, if necessary.   You must clearly indicate if there are nuts in your dish, as we have several nut allergies!  We have limited fridge space, so if you can send items in crock-pots to keep warm, that would be helpful.
