Principal's Message


Thomas families,


Ms. Karen, Ms. Amanda, and Ms. Rebekah work in the kitchen at Thomas Elementary, and they are an important part of our school! They greet kids every morning during breakfast, and fill their tummies at lunch. They help students learn their lunch numbers, and get to know our students and their preferences really well.


Did you know…


Around 200 kids purchase a school lunch every day!


The most popular lunch is, you guessed it, pizza!


On the topic of lunch, if you think your family might qualify for payment assistance, please visit this website or call the school office, and we can help you through that process.


And as a bonus: fifth grade student Liv has started to write reviews for the lunches. See below for our first Culinary Corner!


Go Tigers,
Melissa Garris

CULINARY CORNER (BY LIV)

Review of Thursday’s Lunch


  • Spiced apples were warm and the texture was great. Also, the flavor is sweet but has a kick to it.

  • The patties were spicy and tasty, although the presentation was off. Overall, it was great (side note, very juicy).

  • The juice was sweet and had a lot of ice in it like a slushie; very refreshing!

  • French toast was thick and yummy, and the maple syrup was great!


Overall, 8/10!
