We are asking for students to bring in $.25 per month to help offset the cost of the popcorn. This is not mandatory, and we thank you for your help! *Our next Popcorn Friday will be on January 27th!

The kitchen cannot accommodate any food modifications without the form from the school filled out by a physician.
