Boundary’s hot lunch program is a PAC-sponsored, volunteer-run program that is an extremely important fundraiser for our school. Our hot lunch program is an optional program where we provide lunch for those families who choose to participate. We work with local restaurants and operators to offer kid-friendly, yummy, and healthier lunch choices for our students. Menus rotate weekly.
We are super excited to be bringing back HOT LUNCH for the 2023-2024 school year! We’ve got some great hot lunch options this year to help you save time and energy! Hot lunch runs on Tuesdays at Boundary.
Hot lunch wouldn’t happen without the help of our parent volunteers that help receive and distribute lunches each week. Please consider signing up for one shift per month! A volunteer shift typically runs between 11:15am till 12:30pm. We need at least 2-4 parent volunteers EACH hot lunch day to ensure it runs smoothly. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact our Hot Lunch Coordinators.
Hot lunch orders will be open for the Fall Term (September to January) in the beginning of September 2023. Hot lunch orders for the Spring Term (February to June) will open in January 2024. Our regular hot lunch day is on TUESDAY. More details will be available here in September 2023 but a print notice will also be sent to all families at the beginning of September.
To prepare for your hot lunch orders, please register your child(ren) at https://boundary.hotlunches.net/admin/ using the code BEHL. You must re-register each school year. We will also use the hot lunch program for other important PAC initiatives such as fundraisers!
