Lunchapalooza is coming to Panther Country! This special block lunch event will take place on Thursday, December 21st. Beginning Wednesday, December 6th, students can bring $7.00 to the table in the cafeteria during their lunch time to pre-purchase their Lunchapalooza meal. For this amount, a student will receive 2 slices of cheese pizza, a bag of chips, and a soda or a bottle of water. Students are able to buy multiple meals if they would like more pizza. The presale window opens on Wednesday, December 6th, and runs through Friday, December 15th. Students will NOT be able to purchase a Lunchapalooza meal after this date. Sales are cash only. On the day of the event, the lunch line will still be open, and students can still bring their own lunches if they prefer.
If you have questions about Lunchapalooza, please contact Shelby Rose.
