At LREI, lunch is more than just a meal; it's a time and place for continued learning and reinforcement of core LREI values. Lunch is a time to explore new foods, to find comfort in old favorites, and to connect with others over a shared meal. It is an essential part of the learning experience at LREI. Students in the early childhood classes eat lunch in their classrooms and practice the skills of setting up for meals, sharing with others, "taking a brave taste" and cleaning up at the end of the meal. Students in grades 2 through 8, eat family style in the cafeteria. This shared social experience builds on the early childhood experience and skills and allows for greater independence as students get older.

We are proud to partner with Cater to You who provide our students and staff with an exceptional lunch each day:
