Our Lady of Mercy Academy provides a hot lunch program five days a week to students in grades K-8. The program is managed by the Home School Association with the help of volunteers from the school community.

For the current school year 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 such as Bensi of Hillsadle, Phil's Bagels of Woodcliff Lake, and Park Pizza of Park Ridge. Friday lunches are sponsored by school groups such as the 8th Grade, Scouts, and The Education Foundation.

Occasionally, also offered are bake sales, ice cream sales and during Lent our Boy Scout troops host "ziti days",

The hot lunch program is available from September until June.

This is an optional lunch plan - you are in no way obligated to buy lunch for your child.

A milk program is also available at OLMA 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.
