BASIS Scottsdale Boosters’ 2022-23 Lunch Fundraising Program FAQ
How will the Lunch be served this school year?
We are following the complete guideline as per the CDC. The lunch would be served in the MPR . Any server handling the food would be wearing disposable gloves anytime they are handling the food. Sounds great, but why doesn’t the school have a real cafeteria that serves lunches?
As a public charter school, BASIS Scottsdale receives less funding from the state compared to regular public schools nor does it receive any subsidies for a lunch program. Since there’s no cafeteria, the Boosters offer lunches – that can be ordered online - as a service by the Boosters as part of our mission to support and raise funds for the school |
What’s included in a meal?
For one fixed priced meal students will receive a lunch of 1 entrée , a side fruit, a side green salad, water and a grab and go item ( Cheese Strings, Crackers ,milk.) On Wednesdays, when we serve pizza, meals will include the Fresh Seasonal Fruits and Green Salad and grab-and-go item as mentioned above, as well as a scoop of Haagen-Dazs ice cream! We also have a bigger Size Fruits and Salad Only Option with or without Protein (Chicken) along with the grab and go items. |
