Pizza and Subway Days – Orders due before October 9

Pizza and Subway Days are back at Alta Vista Public School!

The school council organizes weekly pizza delivery and weekly Subway delivery, available to all students at AVPS, from Kindergarten to grade 8. These programs are a great opportunity for a change from your usual packed lunches and are also a fundraiser for the school council. The money raised by the school council is spent on enrichment initiatives for the students, requests for the classrooms, and special projects for the school.

Place your order by Friday, October 9, using the School Cash Online program. Online orders are preferred whenever possible, but paper order forms are also available in the school office. Paper orders must include cash in the correct amount.

Pizza Day Details

This year we have a new vendor: PizzaPizza!

We are currently taking orders for the period from October 19, 2026 – February, 8 2027.  Pizza will be delivered from PizzaPizza every Monday that the school is open during this time, which is 14 Pizza Mondays.  When you sign your child up, you will have the choice between plain cheese pizza, pepperoni and cheese, veggie pizza (green peppers and mushrooms), or Gluten Smart pizza with plant-based cheese.  **Gluten Smart crust and dairy free cheese available**

Pizza is $2.50 per slice, so when you sign up for the program (14 weeks) the total cost will be $35 per slice.  The pizza will be delivered every Monday to your student’s classroom for their first nutrition break, at 11:10am. Leftover slices will also be available for cash purchase at the school kitchen, available to any student in Grade 1-8 (but cash purchases are not available to Kindergarten students).

Are you willing to volunteer to help sort and distribute pizza on a Monday morning? It is quick and fun, and you can commit to just one shift or as many as you want.  We need volunteers to make this program a success, and this is an easy way to contribute and feel part of the school.

Contact Caryn to volunteer, or ask any pizza related questions.

Subway Day Details

Six-inch Subway sandwiches will be delivered to the school every Friday from October 16, 2026 to February 12, 2027, for a total of 14 Fridays. Students will receive their sandwiches in their classrooms during the first nutrition break.

Each sandwich is custom-made for your child. Choices include turkey, ham, pepperoni or veggie subs, topped with ingredients of your choosing: cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, mustard, mayonnaise, and marinara sauce. For those with particular palates, sandwiches can also be ordered with no toppings!

Each sandwich costs $6.50, for a total of $91 for the 14-week session.

Because each sandwich is customized, all orders must be placed during the designated ordering period. Individual sandwiches will not be available for purchase on Fridays.

Sandwiches can be prepared on gluten-free bread for an increased cost. Please get in touch with Ana Flaman for more details, or if you are interested in volunteering with the Subway program on Fridays.

Want to Donate?

Are you able to Donate funds to cover a pizza or subway lunch program for a student in need? $35 covers a slice of pizza every Monday for one child for the full 14-week session. $91 covers a subway lunch for one child every Friday for the term. Donate buttons are available on the School Cash Online form.  Thank you!!

Thank you!

Caryn, Ana & Vanessa
