Tip: Decorate with a “High School Musical” theme, napkins, plates, and cups. Place note pads with a pencil by each plate for a favor. May play the HS Musical theme music as you eat. Invite all your high school friends over.

Family Meal Planning
From the Nutritionist: A back to school party can be lots of fun, especially for people who are going away or to different schools. This is one last time to remember old times and the summer. This meal is easy to prepare and delicious. To avoid spoilage of meat, keep refrigerated until time to use.
