On Monday, April 15th our 5th grade students will be allowed to purchase a la carte items during lunch. The list of items along with their cost can be found on the front page of the CMS website. Students must have a positive balance in order to charge items. Students may pay for items using their lunch account or may pay with cash. Please visit with your child about purchasing items in advance. I have instructed students to ask their parents for permission before they purchase items. If you have questions, please call the school. Thank you!
