💛 WE NEED YOU! (YES, YOU!)
This year marks a big transition for our council and fundraising crew. We're waving a fond, grateful farewell to some incredible volunteers: Natalie, Mirita, Veronica, and so many others, who poured their energy into Healthy Hunger, book fair, field trips, and everything in between. Their kiddos have graduated up to Grade 6, and while we're so happy for them, we sure do miss having them around the school!
That means our on-site volunteer presence isn't quite what it used to be, and we haven't yet found the next group of amazing humans to help fill that gap. Could that be you?
Here's how to jump in:

No experience needed — just enthusiasm and maybe a love of pizza day. 🍕

🍱 HEALTHY HUNGER — YUM!
New to Healthy Hunger? It's our monthly fun-lunch program featuring catered meals from local restaurant favorites! It's mainly for Grades 1–5, but our Kindergarten friends get to join in on the fun too, with two special "snack" days in December and April.

🎰 SAVE THE DATE: CASINO NIGHT!
Mark it in permanent marker — our next casino fundraiser is January 5 & 6! This is one of our biggest (and most fun) volunteer opportunities of the year, typically raising up to $80,000 for our school.
