We have a cafeteria that provides lunches for students. Menus are posted monthly and parents can sign up online. Students may also bring lunches. (Note: During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the LP cafeteria has remained closed and students are required to bring their own lunches from home). We remind all students to bring their own snacks and water bottles daily. The school has stations for children to refill their water bottles when needed. 

We have children with significant life-threatening nut allergies; therefore, we are a NUT FREE school.
