How's the Food?

October 5th, 2023

When prospective families arrive for a visit to Stoneleigh-Burnham, our welcoming Blue Key Ambassadors take them on a tour of campus, including a stop at our Dining Room. There, they inevitably ask, "How's the food?"

The food is great! This morning, the Director of Dining Services, Carrie, treated students to homemade Stonenleigh-Burnham Fall Harvest Muffins. We thought you might want to try them at home!
