October 04, 2026

Beaver Island Community School welcomed a new chef this year, thus vastly expanding meal options and varieties for COA members around Beaver Island.

To order lunch:

Fill out the food order form. These are available in the COA packets and can also be found online: https://cms2.revize.com/revize/countyofcharlevoix/BI%20TO%20GO%20Meals%20Order%20Form%202026.jpg?t=20260922095310091. You may also call Deb Pomorski at the school: 231-448-2744 (meals cannot be ordered over the phone).

Turn in the order forms and meal vouchers either in person or by email, no later than the Thursday before the week you’re ordering for. For example, if you would like a meal on October 14, 2026, the order form must be turned in by October 8, 2026.

Meals are to be picked up by 11:35 a.m. and can be enjoyed in the school Commons area or ordered to-go.

There is a weekly breakfast menu, and these meals can be picked up between 7:45 a.m. and 8:05 a.m.

School has yet to be back in session for a full month, and the students are already raving about Chef Ian’s lunches and skills. Some of the lunch menu options from September included: chicken enchiladas with roast corn and black bean rice, honey soy chicken and fried rice, turkey gyros with whole grain pita bread, pizza every Friday, and much more.

BICS lunches must follow specific guidelines set by the Department of Agriculture to qualify for the free lunch program. This means every lunch meal is ensured to have at least three out of the five: fruit, vegetables, grains, proteins, and a container of milk. Chef Ian makes what he can from scratch, but what he can’t, he has the culinary skills and techniques to make even frozen pizza taste like it came from Detroit itself.

Above, in the image bar, is the menu for October, so get those orders in as soon as possible!
