How To Order

​​

Online ordering will be OPEN until 10 days  prior to the fun lunch date in order for vendors to order ingredients and prepare our meals. You can choose to order month-by-month OR you can place orders for open Fun Lunch dates at once - no deadlines to miss that way!
 

Your order is received when you get:

  1. an order confirmation email

  2. a payment receipt email

 

  • Orders do not carry over - you will need to place an order for all of the dates to receive lunch. Please also double check your child’s division number is correct when you order.

  • If your child has food allergies and you have questions about ordering, please reach out to the Fun Lunch Coordinator. There may also be gluten- and dairy-free options available.

  • What if my child is away or sick on a fun lunch date? You are welcome to come and pick up their lunch by 11:45 am; otherwise please consider it a donation for a child who does not have lunch.

  • Refund Policy: There are NO REFUNDS as this is a PAC Fundraiser.

​

We appreciate your support for our fun lunch program as the funds go towards supporting students and general fundraising within the school.
