Lunch details
TUESDAYS: KAMEI SUSHI ON BROADWAY
Kamei Sushi is our new Japanese provider, offering a variety of options: teriyaki bowls, gyoza, edamame and a wide variety of rolls.
WEDNESDAYS: FRESHII ON BROADWAY
Freshii is a new vendor to Tennyson, offering power bowl, salad and wrap options. Vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options are available though we cannot guarantee no cross-contamination.

Uncle Fatih’s is our pizza provider again this year (cheese, pepperoni, Hawaiian or mixed veggie) We’re working on offering dairy-free and gluten-free options.
Allergy alert: Usually, Uncle Fatih’s pizza crust contains sesame seeds. Although our pizzas will not have sesame seeds, we can not guarantee no cross-contamination.

White Spot will be offering beef and veggie burgers, chicken strips, grilled cheese or mac and cheese, all served with veggies and dip, and apple slices. Gluten-free buns are available for burgers.

Place your orders!
Ordering is now open for the January-March period and can be managed online using the Munchalunch platform.
The system allows a lot of flexibility: order everything, nothing, or any amount in between. And be sure to select Menu 1 and Menu 2 if you’d like to ensure weekly meal service. (More on that below.)
New parents can register here: https://munchalunch.com/schools/LordTennyson
Returning parents can login here: https://munchalunch.com/login
All parents will be asked to update their children’s division when they first log in. This is very important - if the division is not correct, we can’t get the lunch to them!
Menus 1 & 2: What does it mean?
Each hot lunch day is set up as Menu 1 & Menu 2. They cover alternating weeks (to save time when ordering but still allow flexibility. For example, it is easy to alternate between chicken teriyaki one week on menu 1 and sushi the alternating week on menu 2 ). Order from BOTH Menus (1 & 2) if you want lunches every week! If you only order from Sushi Menu 1, your child will get chicken teriyaki every second week.

Ordering deadlines and adjusting orders
You can add an order anytime but it takes one week for the lunches to start (we order in advance from suppliers). Cancellations/changes can also be made to orders with a week’s notice. Changes/refunds are not possible after such dates. Only pre-ordered lunches will be provided - there will be no “day of” sales.
Want lunches only once or twice a month? Planning a family vacation? You can easily remove any days at the END of ordering (keep going until you see the dates listed).
You can log in to Munchalunch anytime to check your orders. Use the My Account - View My Orders tab.
**** PLEASE NOTE: If you do not receive a Munchalunch reminder email, your child will not have a lunch provided. **** Please remember to pack a lunch for your child if they do not have one ordered that week. We can only provide what was actually ordered (not what you hoped or intended to order).

We want every child to be able to have a hot lunch if they wish. As such, subsidies are available for families who need a bit of help whether it be for a few days, weeks, or months. Please contact the office administration.
Volunteers Wanted:
While we finesse our new system, we’ll be looking for parent volunteers to be onsite from 11:30am-1:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in October as we smooth things out. Please sign up here.
Feedback:
We’ve tried to keep in mind nutrition, health/safety, waste, financial accessibility, vendor reliability, dietary restrictions, minimize parent/teacher involvement AND ensure kids will enjoy their hot lunches. With that in mind, we graciously accept your feedback at hotlunches@lordtennyson.ca.
