Sycamore Child Nutrition Services is pleased to offer both breakfast and lunch daily to students and staff at St. Cecilia. All meals are in accordance with the National School Lunch Program and a la carte items and beverages meet the USDA Smart Snacks nutrition guidelines. 

All students will be assigned a 6-digit cafeteria number that they will use to ensure correct accounting for meals and snacks throughout the year.  These numbers will be given out the first week of school.  If you are unsure of your child's number, please contact the school office.
