WB has NEW Food Menus!
WB has new breakfast and lunch menus!  They look different (each week is color coded) and are good for 5 months.  So that means, menus will only be sent home twice a year instead of once a month.  Menus can also be found under the Food Services tab on our website, in our school offices, and posted in most elementary and middle school teachers rooms. We can save paper and make it easier for you to figure out what's for breakfast and lunch at Western Brown.
