Dear Parents,

Mr. Woods would like parents to know that there will be no HOT breakfast or lunch served for a number of weeks.  This is due to a gas problem that is being worked on with Con Edison.  Cereals, yogurt etc. will be available for breakfast. Sandwiches, salad and fruits will be available for lunch.  New menus will be available by the end of week as adjustments are made to food deliveries etc.  If you have any questions please see Mr. Woods.
