There will be some changes to the Grab & Go meals over the next couple of weeks.  During that time, we will transition some items served over to heat-and-eat products such as breakfast sandwiches, cheese omelets, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken.  All of these items can be heated in the microwave and instructions are on a small label that has been placed in the bag.  We will continue to have Uncrustables peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a daily option in addition to the heat and heat lunch items.
