We need a New Lunch Program Coordinator!

 

As many of you know, for years we have been offering healthy lunch options to students throughout the school year through our Hot Lunch Program. This program not only benefits students but also acts as a fundraiser and helps to fund activities at the main & annex schools. This program relies on Volunteers.

Karen Leong has been our Lunch Program Champion for many years but will be stepping down at the end of this year. 

We are looking for a NEW Hot Lunch Coordinator to keep this lunch program alive.

If you are interested in helping this program remain in our school, check out the details below:
