Our goal with this new program is provide nutritious snacks/food within our school for all of our students.  Together we can ensure that they are well nourished and can focus on learning.  This is NOT intended to be a lunch replacement and ALL students are welcome to use this program as needed.

We ask that you please take the time to explain to your child/children that even though the program is opened for all there is a difference between needs and wants.  Please ensure they understand the true concept of this program and that they eat the lunch you have provided.

As a school we would welcome any support we can get from our school community.  If you would like to volunteer to pack classroom baskets, please send a note to Penelope at jwgvolunteer@gmail.com.

For families that are willing to help us by making a donation we have set up a link: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/jw-gerth-public-school/

Thank you for your assistance as we look forward to making this program successful for our students.
