Cinco de Mayo Fiesta at BCSD!
Come and enjoy a taste of the great progress we have
made in our school lunch program at BCSD by having school lunch for
dinner! Come dine with us (or take out!) on Wednesday, May 9, from 5-7
p.m. at the BCSD High School Cafeteria. As a celebration of the Cinco de
Mayo holiday, the Bethlehem Healthy Kids Committee and BCSD's School
Nutrition Director, Paul Franchini, will be serving a "school lunch for
dinner" of savory Mexican delights (fish tacos and chicken fajitas, bean
and cheese burritos, rice and beans, garden salad, black bean salsa) for
all BCSD families. Stay and eat with friends or take your dinners to go
($10 adult and $5 student - cash only please). All proceeds of this
fundraiser will go toward the purchase of food processors for our school
kitchens, helping our cooks to prepare fresh, tasty lunches.
