Parents/guardians must go to www.healthyhunger.ca to purchase your child’s lunch by Saturday, May 11. Students who have not purchased online will not be receiving a fun lunch. If your student is not in attendance on the day of Fun Lunch you can call the school office to make an arrangement for pick up. If they do not hear from you they will donate the lunch.
