Welcome to Lunch Rams!
No super hero cape needed, we’ve got you covered: Moms, Dads, and grandparents are invited to sign up to serve lunch to the students at Axios If all families signed up once per month, it would cover all of our shifts. We understand that for some families that may not be possible each semester, but please consider volunteering when your schedule allows.
This is a fantastic chance to get to know our school community better by serving alongside fellow parents and meeting administrative staff. It is a great opportunity to see your student(s) with their friends and show your student(s) the importance of serving others.
01
How do I sign up for Lunch Warriors? Please click on either the Lower School (GREEN) or Middle & Upper School (PINK) button above to review the available slots below and click on the button for the shift desired to sign up. Thank you so much for volunteering your time to serve our school, students, and administration in this way.
02
Why do we need volunteers for Lunch Warriors? In order to serve a hot lunch, we must have volunteers to help serve the students. The caterers/restaurants who are our food vendors do not provide staff to serve food. This allows us to keep down the costs of food. The administrative and custodial staff have very busy days in other areas and are unable to fill this need regularly. Volunteers allow the school to keep paid positions working in the best way for the function of the school and keep labor costs low. It is a truly wonderful way for parents and other family members to be a part of the school community, meet otherAxios community members, and gain insight into your child(ren)’s day.
03
When do we serve? The shifts are detailed in the sign-ups because they are different for each division and day. The Lower School shifts are from 10:45 AM - 12:05 PM each day. Middle School & Upper School shifts are 12:05-12:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We do not need M/US volunteers on Wednesdays as there is no hot lunch option.

What if a Lower School student asks to use the restroom? Ask the teacher on duty to handle that request—they will know better how to handle that.
10
What if a student needs more water? You may use the sink to refill their water bottle.
11
What if a student forgot something in their classroom and requests to get it? Direct the request to a teacher for their approval.
12
What if I need to talk to my child’s teacher—is this a good time to have a discussion with them? If the needed conversation is more involved than a second or two it is best to pre-schedule a time to talk with the teacher. Teachers plan their days with this lunch period in mind for grading, administrative activities, or a little downtime.
