Breakfast program - The Breakfast program will be starting up again this month. Please call the office for information on how you can help. More information will follow once we are prepared to launch the program.


Fun Lunch program - This program organizes a special lunch students can order from a pre-determined outside source a few times a year. In order for this program to run we need:

Both these programs are very much needed and appreciated by the students in the school.
