If your child will be attending Lunch Bunch, please remember to pack a drink for them. Juice boxes are much easier for kids to open than juice pouches, which are often difficult to place the straw into and leak. Reusable water bottles are perfect to use with juice or water. Lunch Bunch pick-up is promptly at 1:30pm at the entrance door with the blue awning.
