Multicultural Lunch


Dear Parents of Students in Grades 1-7

With the arrival of Fall and Thanksgiving on our minds, we would like to invite your child to participate in a celebration of sharing and belonging. With that in mind, we will be holding a MULTICULTURAL POTLUCK LUNCH on Wednesday, October 2. 

Each student is invited to bring a contribution of food for a potluck lunch. The dish could be a family favourite, a main dish, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, appetizer or dessert, and should be enough for approximately 8 servings. Please have your child help with the preparations if possible. 

When you are preparing, please keep the following in mind:

• NO NUTS, please (we have a few students with serious allergies)
• We will not be able to refrigerate or reheat dishes
• It would be most helpful if you could pre-cut / pre-portion your dish
• Please provide a serving utensil, if possible
• Please label the bottom of your dish (and serving utensil) with your child’s name 
• It would be lovely if you could provide a short description of your dish, the country of origin, and ingredients

Food may be brought to your child’s classroom on Wednesday morning. Lunch will begin earlier than usual to allow for students to share information about their dish, so please ensure that your contribution has arrived by 11:30 am. Students will enjoy the meal together from 11:40 - 12:20, and then go outside to play.

Each student should bring a plate, personal eating utensils and a drink.

Teachers are looking for assistance with set up, serving and clean up, so if you are available to help and have lunch, please talk to your child’s teacher.
