Welcome back CLE Families.  Hot Lunch for 2022 has started!

**NEW**Ordering Open for February 2023!

Ordering deadlines vary for each month. You can place your orders for all three months or one month at a time!  (If you want to order for multiple months at once and or multiple children in your family, do not enter your credit card information until you have enterd all order details.)

Order deadline is January 20!

For the 2022/23 school year, we will only be serving foods prepared by outside vendors, typically with just one vendor per hot lunch day. If your child has specific dietary needs, please email us to disucss how we can work together to meet those needs.  

We continue to run a lean volunteer team each hot lunch date and will adjust as necessary. If you have any concerns or are interested in volunteering, pleaes email hotlunchcle@gmail.com

You might notice that the prices are higher this year.  Vendors have continued to increase their prices during the pandemic, some substantially. We remain excited to bring delicious lunch options to our students and to start to support our local businesses again but please reach out if you have concerns.  The CLE Hot Lunch/Fun Lunch program is a fundraiser that helps to support many educational and technology needs for our CLE students so thank you for your participation and support.   

We will be doing online ordering for all orders to ensure accuracy with the orders and to make the process as easy for everyone as possible.  You might see a note about Bambora charges on your order total, these are just the processing fees that our payment processor charges on each transaction, not additional fees that CLE PAC adds to your order. Please be sure to pay for your order when you place it. Any orders with balances not paid by the monthly order deadline will be cancelled.

Thank you so much to Stephanie Gilchrist for sponsoring our September welcome back coffee event!  It was so wonderful to see all of your faces again and welcome many new families to our amazing school community.
