Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch – Tuesdays & Wednesdays 

School Council is excited to continue with Healthy Hunger as an easy way to order special lunches! Please register and order on the Healthy Hunger website. A big THANK YOU goes to all the volunteers who come every Tuesday and Wednesday to distribute the lunches to the classrooms and students.  This is a huge fundraiser during the school year, and we couldn’t do it without you!  

Veterans Food Drive ends November 8 

We are collecting non-perishable food items for the Veterans Association Food Bank (canned tuna, coffee, sugar, pasta, pasta sauce, canned fruit and vegetables, pudding, canned beans, etc.). We also encourage families to make a financial donation to the Veteran's Food Bank of Alberta at this link. Our CNG community is being challenged to bring in one food item donation per student.
