Our Lady of Mercy Academy provides a hot lunch program five days a week to students. The program is managed by the Home School Association with the help of volunteers from the school community.
A variety of lunch choices will be offered Monday through Friday. Our selections are delivered at the start of each lunch period from various local vendors. Beginning in Fall of 2018 we will partner with Nicholas Market. Please take a moment to visit their site to learn more about this unique and healthy school lunch provider. We are proud to have Nicholas Market provide lunches Wednesday through Friday.
Occasionally, also offered are bake sales, ice cream sales and during Lent our Boy Scout troops host "ziti days",
This is an optional lunch plan - you are in no way obligated to buy lunch for your child.
Please be mindful that participation in our Lunch Program is an option for any family in good standing and current on Home School Association obligations. Due to the nature of the program there are no refunds for illness or absence. Except under extraordinary circumstances, refunds for class trips, or school closings will be provided as a credit refund at the discretion of the Home School Association.

Milk Program
A milk program is also available at OLMA for K to Grade 8 students on a monthly/yearly pre-paid basis. Milk money may be paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis (see school calendar for due dates and cost).
When milk is ordered in this manner, children receive their milk automatically every day during lunch period. Regular or chocolate flavored milk can be ordered. There are no forms to fill out; money should be sent to the office in an envelope with your child's name, grade, the type of milk requested, and “milk money - month of _______” written on the outside. Ordered milks will be distributed in the cafeteria at lunch period. Milk can also be purchased for kindergarten students for snack time.
Students are expected to display proper manners and abide by cafeteria and playground rules. All students must display good manners and respect each other during lunchtime.
Lunch periods are as follows: Kindergarten and Pre-K 10:45 a.m. - 11:35 a.m.
Grade 1 10:45 a.m. - 11:25 a.m.
Grades 5 & 6 11:25 a.m. - 12:05 a.m.
