Grab and Go sack lunch/breakfast meals will be available for curbside pick-up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at BCHS. The pick-up location will be in the parking lot north of Rich Herrin Gymnasium near the entry doors at the back of the lot. In order to prepare an adequate number of meals, we ask that you fill out this form:

In your delivery request, please provide the following information: student name, delivery address, and contact phone number. When food is delivered, the student, parent, or guardian must be available at the delivery location to receive the meal.
