ALLERGEN WARNINGS IN THE CAFETERIA
If you live with food allergies, every meal can be a worry. Whitson's, our food service provider, is trying to reduce that worry with allergy-friendly food signage. In the cafeteria, look for signs like this. It clearly lists the allergens in the dish. The online menu, linked below, shows allergens, and is also interactive, allowing students to review the dishes and leave feedback. Whitson's hopes this information makes it easier to plan ahead for each week's meals, especially for those managing a food allergy.
FOOD PANTRY RESOURCES AT MAYNARD HIGH SCHOOL
Maynard High School offers a small Food Pantry that is available to students, who may take home items for their family. The free pantry is located in the nurse’s office and students may access it by asking the school nurse or their school counselor. Students may take enough food and supplies for their household. Typically, the following types of items are available:
Rice, pasta and macaroni and cheese
Dried and canned beans
Peanut butter and jelly
Canned and dried fruit
Canned vegetables
Cereal and granola bars
Deodorant, soap, shampoo
Toothbrushes and toothpaste
Pads and tampons
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
This school year, ALL STUDENTS can receive a free breakfast and lunch every day at school. However, if you think that your family might qualify, we strongly encourage parents/caregivers to complete the free and reduced lunch application. Qualifying for free and reduced lunch also qualifies students for reduced cost and/or fee waivers for various school related fees (bus fee, field trips, SAT test fees, AP test fees and college application fees). The online application is available here: https://www.nlappscloud.com (social security numbers and proof of permanent residency are NOT required).
There are two community food pantries in Maynard that are available to Maynard residents.
The Open Table Food Pantry (www.opentable.org; 33 Main St, Maynard) is open on Tuesdays, 3:30 - 6:30 PM and Thursdays, 1 - 4:30 PM and offers free bags of groceries 1x/week. Open Table also allows families to pick up frozen meals for family members weekly.
The Maynard Food Pantry (www.maynardfoodpantry.com; 82 Main St., Maynard) is open on Mondays from 10 AM - 12 noon 1-2x/month
