Wed, March 12th -Treat Day - Eng Kinder - Italian Centre - Ordering is now closed
Wed, March 19th - Hot Lunch - Eng Kinder - Nitza's Pizza - Ordering is now open and closes Tues, March 11th.
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!
March Read-A-Thon!
St. Nicholas Catholic School & PAC Presents:
Read-A-Thon 2025
Dear Parents,
St. Nicholas, in partnership with the Parent Council, is pleased to present the 2025 Read-A-Thon fundraiser. The Read-A-Thon fundraiser will start March 1 and run until March 31, 2025.
Funds raised from this year's event will be donated to our students' classrooms to enhance their learning environment and go towards Year End Fun Day!
Included with this letter is a pledge sheet and a minutes read log. Students can collect pledges at a flat rate or per minute read. Students will keep track of the minutes they have read on the minutes read log. If donors have pledged by minutes read, students will need to calculate the total minutes read and collect the pledges starting April 1. (For those that are in Kindergarten and Grade 1, minutes read or time spent with a book qualify!)
This year our school fundraising goal is $3,000.
Becoming an avid reader may seem like a prize, but to heat up the competition, we are offering more fun prizes.
Weekly prizes! Each week, 2 gift cards will be awarded (one for grades k-1 and one for grades 2-4) to students who are actively reading and participating in the Read-A-Thon! If you are reading and filling in your minutes read log, you can fill out a ballot on Thursday each week (March 6,13, & 19) to enter a chance to win a gift card! Gift cards will be drawn and handed out on Fridays!
There will be 4 grand prizes once the Read-A-Thon is completed and all pledge forms, reading minutes logs and pledge money have been turned in!
Mr. Kucy’s Chair for a day! - This prize will be awarded for the highest number of consecutive days in a row read! How do you win this prize? Read each day for a minimum of 10 minutes and fill in your minutes read log form! Have the minutes read log handed in by Friday, April 4, 2025. If there are multiple winners, we will draw names!
Pie your Principal in the face! - Yup, you read that right! The student that raises the most pledge money will pie Mr. Kucy! How do you win this prize? Turn in your pledge forms, reading minutes log, and have your pledge money e-transferred to the Parent Council by Friday, April 4, 2025.
Fun Gift Baskets! - There will be 2 gift basket prizes (one for grades k-1 and one for grades 2-4) for students who read the most number of minutes logged!

If there are multiple winners, we will draw names!
