Cousin Mike’s Lunch Online Pay Portal
We are excited to continue partnering with Cousin Mike’s family-owned business on Tasty Tuesday lunches. Starting in 2024, please sign your child up for the $8 lunches using the Cousin Mike’s link rather than paying Sydnie via Cashapp/ Venmo. This link will allow you to create a login for you and your child. Students can then log in and select their individual meal choice in following weeks (make sure to select “dine-in” when prompted). Use this link every Wednesday to select a meal by Friday night for the following Tuesday. Please reach out to Sydnie with any questions!
