The Weekly Knightline February 23-28



FROM THE KITCHEN

Thank you for your continued support of our school meal program. We are currently seeing an increase in negative lunch account balances and would like to ask that any outstanding balances be paid as soon as possible. Families are no longer able to pre-order meals if their lunch account has a negative balance. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for improving the meal program, please feel free to contact me at mreinke@unitychristian.net.
