This beloved tradition brings our community together to celebrate, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing volunteers.

The Healthy Lifestyles Committee will continue the Veggie Star Lunch Program this month. The event will take place on October 20 during lunch in the school cafeteria—though the specific day will remain a surprise for students. During the event, parent volunteers will help “catch” students enjoying their vegetables by writing their names on raffle tickets. One winner will be selected from each cohort (PreK/K, Grades 1–3, Grades 4–5, and Grades 6–8). Up to three parent volunteers may participate per shift, with two shifts available. Those interested in volunteering may sign up using the SignUpGenius link provided. A flyer with additional details is attached.
