MSLF’s Focus on Waste Reduction
December 11, 2012

We are grateful for the myriad resources available to us here at MSLF. Related to that gratitude is a respect for these resources and the benefits they bring to students, faculty and staff. It is important to us to use to use them prudently and to eliminate waste where possible.

We kindly ask for your assistance in reducing food waste related to our lunch program. Each day we report to our caterer how many children will be eating. This number then determines how much food comes our way each day. Due to food-safety processes and regulations, we are not able to save leftovers. This means that uneaten food is thrown away and goes to waste.

So, we need your help in please reporting your child’s absence by 9am. Please call Lynn at the front desk or communicate with your child’s teacher as soon as you know he or she will not be at school. This will help us greatly, as we let our lunch service know how much food to provide on any given day. Thank you for your support!
