Good afternoon Western Hills Families,
This year marks our first Thanksgiving Lunch with our expanded school community, and we are thrilled to share this experience with all the new families who have joined Western Hills this school year.
As our student population has grown significantly, we kindly ask for your patience and cooperation as we navigate this new Thanksgiving lunch process. Our priority is to ensure a safe, organized, and enjoyable experience for all students and families while maintaining the respectful environment that defines our school community.
Attached you will find the Thanksgiving Lunch Schedule. We encourage families to arrive approximately ten minutes prior to their child’s scheduled lunch time to check in at the front office and pick up pre-purchased tickets. Parents will be allowed into the cafeteria a few minutes before students arrive to collect lunches and find seating.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful tradition with our Western Hills families and celebrating the spirit of togetherness that makes our school so special.
Warm regards,
Western Hills Elementary
