CANTINE ET MENU
LUNCH SERVICE AND MENU
Des repas variés et goûteux sont servis depuis plus de 20 ans à la cantine de l’EFAM, et nous sommes heureux de reprendre ce service après la pause de l’année dernière. Les élèves pourront profiter tous les midis d’un repas équilibré, cuisiné quotidiennement par notre traiteur français.
Chaque mois, le menu sera publié ICI.
Nous encourageons tous les élèves à manger à la cantine, qui est un moment éducatif au même titre que les autres activités de la journée. Une portion individuelle est comptée chaque jour de la semaine d’école pour chaque élève, et le coût du repas est intégré aux frais de scolarité. Les boîtes à repas personnelles fournies par les parents devraient être réservées aux élèves ayant des allergies ou des restrictions alimentaires.
Nous vous rappelons que les élèves doivent apporter chaque jour des couverts réutilisables (fourchette et cuillère, ou spork), une serviette et leur gourde d’eau avec leur nom inscrit dessus.
Varied and tasty meals have been served for over 20 years in the EFAM cafeteria, and we are happy to resume the service after last year’s break. Students will enjoy a balanced meal every lunchtime, cooked daily by our French caterer.
Each month, the menu will be published HERE.
We encourage all students to eat the lunch served at EFAM, which is a teaching moment just like other daily school activities. A single serving is counted each day of the school week for each student, and the cost of the meal is included in the tuition fees. Personal lunch boxes provided by parents should be reserved for students with allergies or dietary restrictions.
We remind you that students must bring reusable cutlery (fork and spoon, or spork), a napkin and their water bottle with their first and last name written on it, every day.
