Dining Services

At the beginning of Linden Hill, Penny Hayes cooked all the meals for the boys. She prepared the ingredients and set a long table for a family style meal. Today we continue to enjoy home cooked meals prepared by a talented kitchen staff. They arrange three beautiful buffets with many healthy meat and vegetarian choices. All meals continue to be dined around a table in family style with at least one faculty member instructing food choices and conversation. Boys refine their table manners in addition to learning how to be a server. They learn to make healthy food choices while refining their social skills in a relaxed and structured setting.

For the evening meal, Penny handed me the little sheep’s bell we had purchased at an antique shop near the Canadian Border. There followed Grace:

“ Be present at our table, Lord

Be here and everywhere adored,

These mercies bless and grant that we

May feast in Paradise with Thee.”

So disguised as gentlemen and illuminated by the candles on each table, the boys sat down to supper.
