Villa Thanksgiving Luncheon Tomorrow and Thursday
We are pleased to invite you to our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon!
Due to limited capacity of the cafeteria and parking, Thanksgiving Luncheon will be held over two days. Grades 1, 3, 4, 5, PM Preschool and Ms. Wilson’s class will have their Thanksgiving Luncheon tomorrow, Wednesday, November 20th. Grades K, 2, 6, AM Preschool as well as Ms. Moore’s and Ms. McNamee’s class will have their luncheon on Thursday, November 21st.
Students in grades 1, 3, 4 and 5 will eat lunch in their classrooms on Thursday, November 21st, and students in grades K, 2, and 6 will eat lunch in their classrooms on Wednesday, November 20th. We encourage your child to bring a packed lunch from home on the day that he/she eats in the classroom. If your child decides to buy lunch on one of these days, a bag lunch will be delivered to your child’s classroom during their regularly scheduled lunch time.
Our Thanksgiving Luncheon menu will consist of: Roast Turkey w/dressing, Green Beans, Fresh Fruit, Whipped Potatoes with Gravy, Cranberry Sauce and Milk.
If you have not yet pre-purchased your lunch ticket you may still do so in the front office. The price for lunch is $4.50 for adults and any non-school aged child. You may pay by cash or check (please make checks payable to Fairfax Villa Food Service. Parents do not need to purchase a ticket for children who currently attend Fairfax Villa. The lunch price will be deducted from their lunch account if they buy Thanksgiving lunch. If they do not have money in their lunch account, they may bring $3.25 for lunch.
We look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with you at the Villa tomorrow, November 20th and Thursday, November 21st!
