Volunteers Needed for Summer Lunch Program

Olathe Public Schools Café 233 is seeking volunteers ages 13 and up to support our Summer Food Service Program.

We need two volunteers per day at each site to help with setup, serving (ages 16+), and cleanup. The program runs Monday–Thursday, June 1–July 23 (no service June 19 or July 4), from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Lunch sites open to the public: Havencroft, Ridgeview, Northview, Santa Fe Trail, and Pioneer Trail.

Whether you can help for a few days or the full summer, we appreciate your time! Spots fill quickly so sign up early.

To sign up, contact Ana Rivera at ariverafpc@olatheschools.org with: volunteer name(s), available dates and preferred school site.

Heatherstone's Field Day will be held on Friday, May 15th. Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing for the day including a water bottle, sneakers, a hat/visor, and a change of clothing and towel (there will be water activities).

Please ensure that your student has sunscreen applied at home prior to attending school. You may send sunscreen with your student in a Ziplock plastic bag if necessary, however, the school nurse/teacher will not apply sunscreen to students. Students must be able to apply their own sunscreen if they need to reapply. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our school nurse at hferrante@olatheschools.org .
