Well Fed

Tired of making lunches for your kids?

Well Fed is extremely excited to work with Ross Road Elementary School to run an “Innovative New Pilot” to solve your school lunch needs.

Our new service will deliver healthy lunches for your children direct to your home.

**Please note that this is a trial and we hope to learn how best to provide you this service, as well as how to build a more user friendly order system through much appreciated feedback from you.

How does it work?

Weekly home delivery to your front door by a COVID friendly non-contact delivery.

Each week you select the number of lunches you would like for your family (each lunch is $5.75).
Lunches are a mixture of fresh (ready to use) and frozen (heat and serve) options.

**To reach minimum delivery requirements each weekly order has a base package (priced at $35.00) this package includes: one of our delicious Entrees (frozen-ready to cook, 2-3 serving size), one package of our Snacks/Baking (ready to eat), fundraising for your school and shipping.

Please note that this is a subscription service so your order will be billed to you each week on Thursday morning.

You can make changes to your subscription as often as you like. So at anytime you can add on to your order, skip a week, or cancel your subscription. All changes need to made the Wednesday the week prior.

THE ORDER LINK IS NOW OPEN!

Place your first order by Wednesday October 28th to be included in the first home delivery of lunches:

Valet Needs Your Help 

Do you use our school valet service in the morning? Did you know our valet program makes us the envy of many schools in North Van? We have an awesome system that helps keep kids safe, but it needs your help. Our valet program is looking for at least two more helpers: one regular weekly volunteer and one back up person to help out occasionally. What’s involved? We’re glad you asked. Valet parents assist in managing traffic along the street or at the crosswalk on Bushnell Road in front of the school, help the student valet volunteers set out the traffic cones and return them to the school foyer after the second bell. It’s a 30-minute task, and it’s all done by around 8:50am leaving you time to get to work or other tasks for the day. For more information contact our Valet Coordinator Ed Lathioor at e.lathioor@gmail.com.  

Terry Fox Run 

Can you spare an hour in the afternoon on Thursday, September 27th? Volunteers are needed at the school field to assist in the run for primary students and to help supervise at busier crossings in the neighbourhood that intermediate students pass through on their run. Please contact teacher Angelee Bulsara at abulsara@sd44.ca.  

Time for Munch a Lunch 

Munch a Lunch is open for orders! Get your hot lunch orders in before the order deadline on Wednesday, September 26th. New families can set up a Munch a Lunch account here: https://munchalunch.com. If you have any questions about the wonderful Munch a Lunch program, please contact our Hot Lunch Coordinator Jackie Hicks at Jackie_hicks@hotmail.com.  

BrainSTEM Learning 

After school extra-curricular classes will be offered by BrainSTEM Learning again this fall over five weeks in October and November. Watch for more information coming soon about the classes and registration. 

Class Reps  

Thank you to those of you who volunteered to serve as a Class Rep for your child’s class. We are determining which classes are still looking for a class rep. Follow up information will be coming soon.  

Completed Your School Forms? 

Here is a friendly nudge to please complete your online school forms that were sent to everyone at the beginning of the school year. Some classes are already organizing field trips and need to have the Walking Field Trip permission forms completed for each student.  If you didn’t receive the forms or need assistance contact the office at rossroad@sd44.ca.

Please see below a message from Mrs. Piccone’s class, (Sepehr Koshkoye-Delshad was a student in this class)

The Boot Fundraiser – In the aftermath of the tragic loss of Sepehr Delshad, the students and parents of Mrs. Piccone’s class are raising money to help Sepehrs brother and father with their long road to recovery.

Please join the students and parents of the class in the lobby of Ross Road School on Monday & Tuesday morning and afterschool to contribute whatever you can, so we can help Sepehrs family with what will be a very long, arduous journey ahead. The aim is to fill a fireman’s boot.

Thank you for all your support and love 

In addition to this the PAC will be forwarding all donations received in the PAC mailbox, in the lobby of  school, to the class to be forwarded onto the family.

Non-perishable food items and unused toiletries will be collected in the school lobby under the stairs. Once collected, The PAC will drop them off at the Harvest Project on Friday, June 22nd after school.

There is also a memorial book that is in the lobby for the Ross Road community to write in.

Again Thank You for all your support.
