***Note from FLIK:

I want to thank all US students for their participation in our lunch program. I do know the lines can be long, especially between 10:55am-11:10am. But just wanted you to know that we are open and ready to serve at 10:50am and our first LS students don’t even arrive until 11:25am. If you are having a hard time with lines coming in at 10:50 (prior to lunch) or at 11:10 (just after rush) you should be able to get in and out of the cafeteria fairly quickly. 

I also want to let you know the best value for your dollar is our Daily Meal Deal. Which includes either of our two hot entrees, and any 2 sides (this can include, side vegetables, bread options, fruit, yogurt or anything from our salad bar that fits into a 9oz cup, any chip, any snack item or whole piece of fruit). Also with a meal deal you can get a 12oz cup for a beverage from our drink station.

While I’m thinking about our drink station. I wanted to let you know that there is a charge for any beverage from our juice machine, to our sweet and unsweetened tea and including our water works (infused water). Please see our cashier if you are just getting a drink from any of these stations. The charge is $1.40 and you may get a free refill during lunch times.  Just make sure you let our cashiers know. We are also trusting you with the honor system in that when you let us know on your refill that you have already made a beverage purchase

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out, my email is cevans@cannonschool.org

Kindly,

Mr. Evans

***Note from FLIK:

I want to thank all US students for their participation in our lunch program. I do know the lines can be long, especially between 10:55am-11:10am. But just wanted you to know that we are open and ready to serve at 10:50am and our first LS students don’t even arrive until 11:25am. If you are having a hard time with lines coming in at 10:50 (prior to lunch) or at 11:10 (just after rush) you should be able to get in and out of the cafeteria fairly quickly. 

I also want to let you know the best value for your dollar is our Daily Meal Deal. Which includes either of our two hot entrees, and any 2 sides (this can include, side vegetables, bread options, fruit, yogurt or anything from our salad bar that fits into a 9oz cup, any chip, any snack item or whole piece of fruit). Also with a meal deal you can get a 12oz cup for a beverage from our drink station.

While I’m thinking about our drink station. I wanted to let you know that there is a charge for any beverage from our juice machine, to our sweet and unsweetened tea and including our water works (infused water). Please see our cashier if you are just getting a drink from any of these stations. The charge is $1.40 and you may get a free refill during lunch times.  Just make sure you let our cashiers know. We are also trusting you with the honor system in that when you let us know on your refill that you have already made a beverage purchase

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out, my email is cevans@cannonschool.org

Kindly,

Mr. Evans
