Lunch Info

Making sure your child eats right is our concern, as well as yours. Good Shepherd School offers a nutritious hot-lunch program at a low price. The lunches are prepared right at the school; so when the children are ready, so is the food. Lunches cost $2.25 for students and $3.50 for adults. Parents and guests are invited to join students, but please call the lunch room in advance to reserve a lunch at 763-545-4285 ext. 813.

Your children may qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Please return your completed Application for Educational Benefits form to Principal Tom Zellmer.
