Curbside Meal Pickup from SLA!
The cafeteria staff is thrilled to welcome back the Brighten Academy community. They've made a welcome message to all of their contracted schools. Please view this short video. Curbside meal pickup is at the atrium entrance (near the front office) on every Tuesday from 3pm-5pm and on Friday 3:30-5:00pm (NEW days begin Oct 2!). Be sure to enroll in our school-wide Remind group with @brightenA to receive updates and links for meal orders. Please let us know if your family cannot pickup meals during those times.
Please click on the School Meals link to connect to SLA's website, including company information, payment portal, menus, and nutritional information!
