School is out in many school districts across North Carolina on Wednesday as teachers march on the state legislature in Raleigh to demand better pay and benefits.

But while local students might be missing class, they don’t have to miss school lunch. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is hosting lunch at one school and three community sites, according to a school email sent to parents last week.

Check out the list below for location details.

  • Northside Elementary (350 Caldwell Street in Chapel Hill) Lunch served 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Please check in at the school’s office then come down to the café.
  • Ridgefield Community Center (301 S. Estes Drive in Chapel Hill) Lunch served 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
  • Dobbins Hill Playground/Community Center (1749 Dobbins Drive in Chapel Hill) Lunch served 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
  • Airport Gardens Playground (815 MLK, Jr. Blvd. in Chapel Hill) Lunch served 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The lunch menu will be served picnic-style outside, and will include chicken nuggets, fresh baby carrots, bags of chips, apples, assorted juices and milk, according to the email.
