Good nutrition plays an important role in a child’s readiness to learn. It is our hope that by offering milk/juice to our students to augment their nutritious snacks from home, it will help them concentrate, have more energy and get the most out of their school day.
We would like to thank the John Mahood families for supporting our milk/juice program the last 11 years. It’s great to see so many of our students enjoying a healthy drink for their breaks. We will continue to take advanced/prepaid orders but we are also giving you the option to purchase milk/juice on a daily basis. (please see explanation below) The price for white/chocolate milk will remain at 75 cents. The price for the Oasis 100% juice will remain at 50 cents.
This program will begin on Wednesday Sept 16th, 2015
Please note: you have 2 options for ordering this year
Option 1: send money with your child in the morning if they wish to purchase milk and/or juice that day.Students will bring their money to the office at the beginning of either break to make their selections. The advantage to this option is that you don’t have to order in advance and put out a larger sum of money.
Option 2: fill out the attached order form any time you wish. You can order as much or as little as you like. Students will receive tickets to exchange for milk/juice any time they wish.
Print and send the order form. (this order form will remain at the top of this post for the entire year – please feel free to access it whenever you need to order more items)
Orders will be tallied as they arrive and tickets for each item will be sent home with your child. (tickets are specific to each item available)
Your child will then bring the ticket(s) to school on the days they wish for have milk/juice. They will bring the tickets to the office at the beginning of each nutrition break to receive their drink. We are suggesting you place the tickets in a ziplock bag and place them in their lunch bag. Kindergarten lunch helpers will collect any tickets from your child and will deliver items to your child.
The advantage to this option is that you can order a larger quantity at one time and pay once instead of daily.
