FOOD FOR THOUGHT: A Message From OrganicLife, Our Food Service Provider
We're excited to shine a spotlight on the essential components that make up the hearty and nutritious meals provided by the USDA Student Nutrition Program. Designed to fuel success in the classroom and beyond, these meals are carefully crafted to meet the dietary needs of growing minds and bodies.
Please mark your calendar to join us for the 2024 Naperville 203 INC Volunteer Academy. We welcome ALL potential and current volunteers to attend this year’s Academy:
- Learn about, or enhance your experience, being a mentor or coach in the D203 junior high mxINCedu Program and/or in the high school INCubatoredu Program
- Engage in learning about the authentic, entrepreneurship curriculum and about working directly with students
- Gain a better understanding of the mutual benefits of being an active participant in the D203 INC pathway
- Network with other volunteers
We hope that you will be able to carve out some time in your busy schedule to join us for this event. We trust this partnership will be as rewarding for you as it is for the students with whom you will work in the mxINCedu and INCubatoredu classrooms!
Mark your calendars for Monday, September 23, and please RSVP with your lunch selection by September 17. Thank you! We look forward to seeing you on September 23 and to partnering to make this an exciting school year!
Please share this invitation with others who may be interested in learning more and possibly getting involved.
