Hot Lunch

Hot Lunch meals are $7.00 and can be ordered for your student through Blackbaud

Lower Campus meals: every day (5 days/week)

Upper Campus meals: every day (5 days/week)

*Exceptions for both campuses: half days, early dismissal days, and as otherwise noted on the Hot Lunch Calendar

Please remember to check the Hot Lunch Calendar for field trips or other reasons your student would not be eating at GRACE, for Hot Lunch should not be ordered on those days. Refunds will not be given for missed lunches.

Please contact Marlene Brown with any questions.

If your student has any food allergies, please contact the Hot Lunch Coordinators:
Beth Chapman (Lower Campus - [email protected])
Marlene Brown (Upper Campus - [email protected])to confirm the meal does not contain food allergens before placing your order. 
 
We would like to introduce you to our new lunch system, EZ School Lunch. It will be accessible on the Resources tab of Blackbaud using your gracechristian.myschoolapp.com login for your convenience. 
 
For lower school students, you won’t have to remember to send in $1 on Ice Cream Day! You can simply order ice cream with your lunch and pay electronically with the rest of your order. Please mark these days on your calendars.  We will open the menu at 9 am and close the menu promptly at 4pm.  Please be sure to complete your orders by those dates & times to ensure that your students are included in our counts for the month.
 
Once the EZ Lunch system closes, reports are generated & the orders placed with our vendors are locked in. EZ Lunch does not allow you to add any late entries past the ordering window. EZ Lunch also does not allow us to manually enter your orders past the ordering window.
 
We are also excited to announce the addition of Tenko Japan to our vendor lineup!  They will be offering two new menu items coming in November.  We are very excited to be working with them and back by popular demand is Jersey Mike’s! 
 
You will remember last year, Jersey Mike’s prices rose above your cost and we were uncertain whether we could continue to use them.  We are happy to announce that Jersey Mike’s will remain on the menu for 2023/24 but at a higher price than all other options. We have to advise you that due to the rising costs of inflation passed on by our vendors, we will be charging $7.50 for lunches and $8.50 for Jersey Mike’s.  Our snacks & extras will remain at $4.00 each. 
 
Lastly, once the ordering window closes, there will be no refunds for mistakes in ordering or missed lunches. We will be happy to save lunches or donate to a student or staff member in the event of a missed lunch. Please notify us of any desire to do so on the day of a missed lunch before the start of our first lunch service on those days. After our lunch starts, it may not be possible to save for your student.

 

Hot Lunch Ordering Windows

EZ School Lunch also allows you to make changes to your order during the 5-day open lunch ordering window.  Perhaps you realized your student had a scheduled field trip that you didn’t remember and you ordered lunch on that day.  If the ordering window is still open, you can change your order
