Food For Learning

Our Healthy Snack Program is supported by Renfrew County's Food For Learning program. Each month Mrs. Pecarski prepares the menu for healthy snacks. Parent volunteers prepare and deliver healthy snacks to classes every Wednesday.

Additionally, the funding helps to provide a variety of other school initiatives (e.g. Healthy Food Bin, etc.) and special events such as our Christmas Dinner.

A special thank you to all of our volunteers who help make this program a huge success!
