Hot Lunch / Pizza Day / Hot Dog Day /Treat Day
Our PTO sponsors OPTIONAL food fundraising programs throughout the school year. Our Online Hot Lunch System is now open and accepting orders until September 4th. **Returning Users: Please remember to update your student's new team information** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Please remember that you are ordering hot lunch and treats through January. Items are posted in red and blue. Once you've selected an item to order it will turn green! You can pay online with PayPal OR a debit/credit card, or you may send in a check made payable to the GRISSOM PTO. Please note: There is a $2.00 processing fee for each transaction. If you have multiple students, orders can be placed at the same time to avoid paying this fee twice. Once you have entered the entire information for one student, you can switch students and add their hot lunch order. Online Hot Lunch Ordering System, click here for link online.
