Dr. A.R. Lord Parent Advisory Council is once again hoping to offer the Hot Lunch program to students. This optional lunch is supplied by local restaurant vendors and delivered right to the classroom at a reasonable cost to families. Lunch would be offered two times per month and run from January to June. Kids love the opportunity to have variety and new foods and parents like a break from packing a lunch from home. 

To be able to offer this service, we are seeking 2-3 parent volunteers to organize and then help run the on site portion of program. Duties include being at school on the day of the hot lunch, receiving the lunches from the vendor, and coordinating delivery of the boxed lunches to each classroom while following all required health & safety protocols.  Instruction/training will be provided. Total time commitment is just a couple of hours per month. If you are interested in helping out as a hot lunch volunteer, please email: info@arlordpac.ca

​Mabel’s Labels are personalized, peel & stick, super-durable labels that safely go in the laundry, dishwasher and microwave.  They’re loved by parents and kids alike as they are perfect for all your kids’ stuff!  From shoes & clothes to water bottles, lunch boxes, backpacks, camping gear and more! Purchase online. Fundraiser proceeds go to  Dr. A.R. Lord Elementary students.
