Dear Parents:
KKS is looking to start up a lunch program that will run once a week on Tuesdays. I am looking for parent volunteers who could assist in this endeavour.
If you are interested, please either phone me at 250-635-0776, or email me with the subject of “lunch program” to dcbooks@telus.net. We are looking to get the program up and running by mid November and carry on throughout the year.
Volunteers are needed for:
- 2 parents from each class to distribute lunches (Approx. ½ hr per week)
- People to pick up meals from the vendors (Approx. ½ hr per week)
- Somebody to fill in where needed from time to time
Thank you in advance for your help and support.
