Hot Lunch - RE Gluten Free Kids

Hi All,
Just another note with regard to the Hot lunch flyer that came out today.  We will ensure that there will ALWAYS be a gluten free option.  I don't think that is clear with regard to the Pizza day in May.  Can those parents of Gluten free and Dairy free kids wishing to order pizza please email me for further details at sherriv@mac.com.

Thanks again
Sherri

Hot Lunch Days

Hi Everyone,
Thanks to everyone for turning out to the Popcorn & cocoa day yesterday.  It was a huge success, and we even had to make extra popcorn because there was such a great interest.  Our newly purchased pots supplied by the PAC were wonderful to have, and ensured that our cocoa didn't taste like 'coffee' as some of our students noted last month.

Below is the flyer for the remaining Hot lunch days to come.  You can place your child's orders for all 3 remaining  hot lunch days together which should make it easier to ensure that they are not left out.

This Thursday coming is Sushi day.  We will be ordering the sushi, and therefore we will need all orders placed in advance to ensure that we can have the order filled.  Please ensure that your orders are in by the end of day Tuesday.

POPCORN DAY TOMORROW!

Sorry for getting this info out so late!

FINAL CAFE ETICO FUNDRAISER - ORDERS DUE BY APRIL 30th

FINAL ORDER FOR THE YEAR!

Hello all,

Coffee (and tea) is a great way to get going in the morning and it tastes even better when you are doing good by drinking it.

Our Cafe etico fundraiser not only provides you with an opportunity to raise money for Garibaldi Annex, but does so in a responsible way with 100% of the profits going to support human rights in Latin America.

Below you will find an order form for etico products.

FOR ALL ORDERS: Please fill out your order and hand it in with a cheque (payable to Garibaldi Annex) or cash to the drop box located in the front office by April 30th. You will be notified by e-mail when your order is available for pick up at the school.

Also below find a copy of the price list which provide details of the dollar amount the school raises with the purchase of each bag.

Thanks in advance for supporting Garibaldi!

Children are welcome and there is a trampoline in the front yard to be used by all:)

Hope to see you,
