Family Meals!

Dear Parents,

Chickpeas is so grateful to be able to serve delicious and healthy lunches to your child at Innovations Academy! Our first couple of weeks have been successful due to the participation of the wonderful staff, parents and students at Innovations Academy.

First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your understanding and patience as we introduced our online ordering system. There were unforeseen technical problems and glitches that made online ordering difficult, if not impossible, for periods of time. We apologize for this frustrating experience, and want to thank you all for your patience while the Web team to which we outsource troubleshooted these problems. We are relieved that the problems are now fixed and the site is running properly. Features such as automated order confirmations via e-mail and pricing are now in proper working order.

Another improvement you will see is larger portion sizes for some of the entrees and sides. Based on your valuable feedback, we will increase the standard portion sizes for items such as the French toast and sweet potato fries. For those who desire even bigger portions, our menu allows you to order "double portions," in which you get twice the amount of food for an extra $2.50.

Chickpeas serves healthy lunches throughout San Diego

We are truly excited that you have joined us on our mission to feed growing bodies solid nutrition. We are kicking off the Fall season with many exciting plans in store for you and your children. In mid-October, we will be on campus to bring your children and staff a fun and interactive Nutrition Assembly, presented by Chickpeas owner and dynamic speaker, Julie Frans. The topics covered will include breakfast foods, snacks, drinks and general information about ingredients, and how to make healthier choices. Your child will learn how to become a "label detective," by learning which ingredients are truly healthy and beneficial, and which should be avoided or are misleading. Your child will come away empowered and enlightened about the food and choices they can make that will affect them for their entire lives! Stay tuned for the date, time and more information on the upcoming assembly.

Starting on Monday, September 20th, we will begin offering our delicious and convenient Family Dinners! Please read on for more details.

We look forward to a healthy year together!

Sincerely,
Robbie and Julie, and The Chickpeas Team
