Over time, the gravel from our playground slowly “migrates” across the schoolyard, making the play space uneven and less safe. We’re inviting families to join our Snack & Sweep on Wed. Sept 17 to help bring the gravel back home to the playground! Together we’ll restore a smooth surface for our children to enjoy. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided, and children are welcome to play while parents and caregivers lend a hand. Please bring a broom, shovel, and gloves if you have them — many hands make light work, and every sweep makes a direct impact on our school community. Please RSVP here: https://tiny.caa/snacksweep

What is Fun Lunch and How To Volunteer 🤝 One Volunteer per class (with PIC) needed every month
🥗 What is Fun Lunch?
🥗 What is Fun Lunch?
Fun Lunch is an optional fundraiser run by the Fundraising Society. 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!, Papa John’s, and more. We make an effort to choose places that offer gluten-free and vegan-friendly options.
Funds raised go back into supporting student activities and school initiatives — so by participating, you’re directly helping our community while giving your child a special lunch day to look forward to.

Orders are placed exclusively through Healthy Hunger.

We need one volunteer per class 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.
