Parents of St. Andrew Apostle School:

Thanks for your input on the SAPA hot lunch survey. The survey indicated that you were concerned with the cost, portions, and healthy options. We analyzed the results and used other Catholic private schools as a benchmark. This has not been an easy task, but we have found a new vendor that is establishing themselves on the East Coast, Revolution Foods. They have been successful on the West Coast and we will join them in their inaugural year in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. While we have negotiated the best price and best options, they will provide healthy and appropriate portions to the students.

The cost per lunch will be $3.50 for K-5 and $3.80 for 6-8. They will deliver hot lunch Monday through Thursday. Fridays will continue to be handled by 7th grade parents. All families must use the Revolution Foods website and the attached instructions to setup your new accounts. Please setup your accounts NO LATER THAN August 25, 2009 so that you may begin to order for the first full day of school on September 2, 2009. All payments are made through the Revolution Foods website. The website accepts payments via MasterCard, VISA (debit cards) and PayPal. SAPA will no longer accept money.

We are looking forward to a successful partnership with our new vendor. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 301 649-5559 or via email..
