Reminder that students have the option to eat breakfast in the morning upon arriving to school. Students should stop by the cafeteria once they enter the building.

Students purchasing school lunch, have the opportunity to visit the salad bar. Our salad bar is a daily, colorful array of fruits and vegetables. This is a great time for our children to learn healthy eating habits and expand their pallet.
Parents/Caregivers: we have seen an increase of students bringing the "hot chip" or "one chip challenge" to lunch. This past week, we had two different situations with students sharing pieces of the one chip challenge in both the 7th and 8th grade lunches. While no student was seriously impacted, it did make for many uncomfortable mouths and a few upset stomaches throughout Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Please refrain from allowing your student to bring this "one chip" challenge to school.
For parents who do not know, the challenge dares you to eat a chip covered in Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper seasonings. As a result, many people experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing that can last more than 24 hours and lead to more severe health complications.
We are asking for your support with informing studnets of the dangers of this challenge. Please take a moment to speak with your child about not participating and/or sharing this challenge with others. Thank you for your support with this issue.
