Why We Jump

Our school is participating in Jump Rope for Heart to empower kids to build healthy habits for a healthy life and learn the importance of giving.

To help our school reach our fundraising goal click "Register to Participate" and set up your own fundraising page!

If you are looking to donate to a student's page, please make sure you have the student's direct fundraising page link to ensure your gift will count towards the student’s fundraising goal and Thank You Prize. Donating on this page will go towards our school and not a specific student.

Tues, Feb 27th - Treat Day - Uk Kinder- COBBS

Tues, Mar 4th - Shrove Tuesday Hot Lunch - Uk Kinder - A Cappella. Parent Council will be funding the Shrove Tuesday lunch of 2 pancakes, 2 sausage, syrup, and butter (ordered from A Cappella) for each student, staff member, and volunteer. The school is asking for a $2 donation to help offset the cost. Please consider supporting this school wide initiative! **Please note that you will not have to put an order through for the Shrove Tuesday pancake lunch. Lunch is automatically provided!**

If you are needing to find the hot lunch website link, please visit St. Nicholas's website and look under the parent tab! There you will find a new Hot Lunch tab that will have current hot lunch info as well as a link to this web page for ordering!

For those that are new to hot lunch, the kinder classes will alternate each hot lunch date so that both classes have the opportunity to participate. While we strive to make the hot lunch dates fair for each kinder class, sometimes volunteer or vendor availability can hinder alternating fairly between the English and Ukrainian classes. We will try to make sure that each class has the same number of hot lunches during the school year. Thank you for understanding.

Please note that there may be food allergens or products that can cause sensitivities (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, gluten etc) served by each vendor. Unfortunately, while we do our best to accommodate everyone's dietary needs, some vendors may not be able to offer menu items that are completely allergen free or have options that are dairy or gluten free. Please use discretion when ordering if your child has a sensitivity or allergy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or trouble with the website or the ordering process, please feel free to reach out to me at st.nicholaspac@gmail.com If you are able to volunteer to help on hot lunch day please click the volunteer box when ordering. It is appreciated!

Next Parent Council and Fundraising Meeting
