Our cafeteria operator SAGE Dining Services began offering a boxed lunch option Monday, October 5 for all students, faculty, and staff.
A link to the menu and order form will be shared in the Friday division publications. Orders must be placed by Tuesday for the following week. This advanced notice is to allow SAGE time to order from its vendors.
allergen-free meal (made without gluten, dairy, milk, peanuts, tree nuts)
sunbutter and jelly sandwich (with butter made from sunflower seeds)
Each meal includes a fruit, a dessert, and a rotating side (such as vegetables and hummus or chips) as well as salad dressings, condiments, and cutlery as needed. The breakeven price per meal is $7 for LS students and $7.50 for MS & HS students. In addition to the cost of individual disposable packaging, SAGE and USN are committed to the school’s sustainability efforts and using packaging that is either made from renewable sources or compostable. We will not raise the boxed lunch price this school year and will lower it as market prices permit. To ensure a student does not receive multiple lunches and is not billed twice, please discuss as a family who should complete the online order form each week. Families will be billed monthly in arrears.
SAGE is unable to provide beverages or milk at this time. Reusable water bottles may be filled at hydration stations throughout the building. Drinking fountains are closed.
Weather permitting, many students enjoy lunch and fresh air outside on the Edgehill Lawn, Magnolia Lawn, Scarritt Field, or beneath tents on the Edgehill Campus.
SAGE Dining Services is offering sandwiches and salads with options to meet the needs of vegetarians and students with food allergies.
Students are eating with their cohorts at a distance from each other of greater than 6 feet either outside or in large indoor common spaces.
Hydration stations are open. Drinking fountains are closed.
