Home Program Hot Lunch
Park Day is proud of the phenomenal Hot Lunch Program offered on campus every school day. Sharing food is one of the many ways we connect and build community. Students 1st – 8th dine with their grade level in the Pavilion or around the Magnolia Tree. TK students eat in their classroom, and Kindergarteners enjoy lunch in the K eating area.
The Hot Lunch Program is run by the Epicurean Group. Their goal is to fuel growing students with delicious wholesome food! Epicurean Group is one of the first food service companies to be certified as a Green Business, recognized for community environmental responsibility, resource conservation, and pollution prevention.
