Please take the time to read it. If you are able to support the Council and our school, please connect with the school office or contact School Council at richmondschoolcouncil@gmail.com.

We appreciate your HEART (Harmony, Engagement, Adaptability, Respect, and Truth), and we need your support moving forward with School Council positions. Thank you!

Richmond School Council Updates

Richmond School Council AGM

Richmond School Council would like to welcome all parents to our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, November 18, at 6:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend!

School Council meetings are a great way to stay connected with what is happening at the school and find ways to get involved.

We have several open positions on the Council this year. Please see the flyer that went home earlier this week. If you have any questions or would like to take on one of the Board positions, please contact the current Council at richmondschoolcouncil@gmail.com.

We would love to see you there! New Board members will be voted in at the AGM.

Fun Lunches

The next Fun Lunch through Healthy Hunger is Wednesday, November 18, featuring Via Cibo.

The order deadline is Friday, November 13.

All parents with children in Grades 1–6 who would like to participate in the school's Fun Lunch program must visit the Healthy Hunger website and follow the instructions provided.

Please note that Kindergarten students will not participate in the Fun Lunch program, as they attend school for half days and are not at school during lunch.

Even if you registered in previous years, you will need to register again and select your child's new class before placing an order.

Upcoming Fun Lunch Dates

The deadline to order is the Friday before each Fun Lunch day.

If you have any questions about Fun Lunches, please contact Denise Wanchulak at denisewanchulak@gmail.com.

On behalf of Parent Council,
