Special Features of Dawson Dining Parents are invited to join their students for lunch. Tickets may be purchased at the administration building receptionist desk. Cost is $6 for adults and $3 for children.
We feature an international foods day each month, where students are introduced to ethnic foods. This serves to spark an interest in learning about various cultures, both in the classroom and at home.
Students dine in a "social setting," where they are able to sit with their friends during lunchtime. The younger grades sit with a teacher, as well as with peers from other classes. This encourages social interaction with peers whom students don't normally see throughout the day. Older students are able to choose with whom to sit. |
