Hello Families,
Halloween is Monday, October 31st. Students are invited to wear Halloween costumes if they would like. We remind all students that there is no gore, no masks and no weapons. Students should come with their costumes on. Please ensure that costumes are comfortable to be worn throughout the day and will be safe and suitable for all daily activities such as gym, recess and learning time. Inflatable costumes are challenging for students to work in throughout the day. In keeping with nutrition and health protocols, we ask for no additional treats or snacks to be sent in.
The parade is BACK! We are so happy to welcome families back to the school for our Halloween parade. The gym will be set up for costume viewing. Our parade will start at 1:00 and students will wander through the gym to showcase their costumes. If you would like to join us, please come to the front door and join us in the gym for 1:00. Please connect with your child’s teacher if you do not want your child participating in Halloween activities, such as the parade, during the day.
November 1st will be the Spirit Day chosen by rooms 10 and 12. We will be having a pajama day. All staff and students are invited to wear their comfy pjs for the day.
Card Games Club
Card Games club is back! There was an information meeting at 11:40am on Monday, October 24, for students who were interested in joining. This year, we will alternate weekly between a Grade 1-2 group and a Grade 3-6 group. The first official Grade 1-2 meeting will be Nov. 7, and then the Grade 3-6 group’s first meeting will be on Nov. 14, and so on until February. Please allow your kids to store their cards in their cubbies (ONLY on their card club day), as there have been some backpack-break-ins in the past.
Healthy Hunger
Fun Lunch is back! Starting Thursday, November 3rd Lake Bonavista School Council will be organizing a Fun Lunch every other week on Thursdays. Fun Lunch is run through a program called Healthy Hunger at www.healthyhunger.ca. Kids enjoy having a fun lunch to eat at school and parents enjoy a break from making lunch! You may begin ordering today (October 24). The following Fun Lunches have been booked:
November 3 - McDonalds
November 17 - Booster Juice
December 1 - Coming Soon (check back this week!)
December 15 - Waffles and Chix
Account Set up
For parents who have previously had a healthy hunger account your login will be the same. However you will need to log in and then add your student to the correct school and class from the drop down menus.
For parents new to Healthy Hunger. You will need to createan account on the healthy hunger website and then add your student to the correct school and class from the drop down menus.
Ordering Lunches
Once vendors are confirmed they will be added to the calendar for your selection. You can order as little or many days as you like. You can place orders for multiple days and multiple children all at once and pay at the end. Or you can place orders weekly. Payment is done online through Healthy Hunger, no payments are made to school.
Deadline for ordering is 5 days in advance. So all orders must be placed by that time. So for Thursday meals, orders must be placed by 11:59pm on Saturday. In order to give the vendors time to order and prep.
Cancelling an order
If you need to cancel a lunch you can do that until the cut-off period which is 5 days before each lunch and get a refund. However with more absences due to symptoms cancelling in advance may not always be an option.
Lunch Delivery
On the specified day lunch is delivered to the school for the students. We will require a few volunteers to help distribute to the class, so please make sure you are on our volunteer contact list if you would like to help.This is only for the lunch orders so please remember to pack a snack and water with them for the rest of the day. Or a complete lunch if you did not order that day.
Missed Fun Lunches
For those times you miss the option to cancel, and your child won’t be there due to sickness or any other reason, we ask that you please contact the school by 11:30am on the day of Fun Lunch to choose an option. Your options are to:
- Pick the lunch up by the end of the day.
- Send it home with a sibling.
- Donate it to the staff room.
Unfortunately due to allergies etc. we can’t give to another child without their guardian’s consent. Any lunches that aren’t claimed by the end of the day will be composted.
Questions
Please contact the funlunchlbs@gmail.com for any questions regarding Fun Lunch or lbsvolunteercoordinator@gmail.com regarding your volunteer status.
There will be another blog posted on or before Friday about our busy week.
Thank you,
P. Green
