Food for thought: should we add a new lunch program?

School Council is exploring the option of bringing on an additional lunch service provider.

Rose Reisman Kids Lunch Program offers a peanut and tree-nut free menu with more than 20 different meal options daily, and caters to food allergies. Items range from $4.75 to $7.50 a meal. View a sample menu online at https://www.kidslunch.ca/menu_1

The caterer will be presenting at the next Council meeting on Monday, February 12, so we encourage you to attend and ask any specific questions you may have.

A minimum number of participating families is required to bring this lunch provider to the school.

If you are interested, please participate in a brief survey online by Friday, February 16.

Gourmet frozen foods at your fingertips!

Orders are due on Monday, February 12 for a variety of gourmet frozen foods!

Please refer to the MacMillan’s and Terra Cotta Cookie Company information and order forms sent home with your child this week.
