What is Fun Lunch and How To Volunteer 🤝 One Volunteer per class (with PIC) needed every month
Fun Lunch is an optional fundraiser run by the Fundraising Society. Please email the society directly for details on how campaign profit is allocated. Once a month, families may choose to order a meal for their child(ren) from a selected restaurant. Past providers included Subway, Edo Japan, Opa!, McDonald's and more. We make an effort to choose places that offer gluten-free and vegan-friendly options.
Orders are placed exclusively through Healthy Hunger.
You’ll receive email reminders when order forms are live, or you can log in directly to check.
Be sure to check restaurant websites for ingredients or allergy details before ordering.
Remember: Orders close at midnight the Friday before each Fun Lunch date.
One volunteer per class is needed for each Fun Lunch. Volunteers help by delivering meals to classrooms and collecting recyclables/garbage afterward. It’s also a wonderful chance to see your child during the school day — and these hours count toward your family’s volunteer commitment.
Shift time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
