Spirit Wear is back – this time with Rainbow Club Wear – until November 15!

Posted on October 29, 2023 by Lynne Scholten

Show that Alta Vista Public School spirit with Spirit Wear and Rainbow Club Wear!

Submit your order through School Cash Online until November 15, 2023, and the items purchased will be delivered to your child in class. *Please read below* before ordering.

Year after year we are able to keep many kids’ heads warm and show that AV spirit at the same time! Again this year, you can choose the option in the online order form to help our school community by purchasing a toque, t-shirt or hoodie to donate to a child in our school. Your donation is a great way to keep some little heads warm, and show school spirit!

Rainbow Vipers Wear

The Alta Vista Rainbow Vipers is an inclusive group (grades 4-8) welcoming members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their allies in a safe and welcoming environment. The group reads diverse books, plans school-wide events, watches movies, and supports one another. The logo was a group effort, and then designed by a student, Avery.

The response to the Rainbow Club’s T-shirt was so awesome that we need to share it with the whole community. Options include a T-shirt or Hoodie in Black, White, or Pink. A portion from each item purchased will go towards the Rainbow Club.

Spirit Wear

Here are the Spirit Wear hoodies, sweatpants, T-shirts, and toques on offer:

*PLEASE READ*

  • We are unable to exchange or refund items after purchase.
  • If for some reason you don’t want it to be delivered to the child, we will make time to pick it up once we receive the order.
  • We recommend from past years that you go up at least a size. If you want the item to be loose, or that they can grow into it, go up 2 sizes. A little bit big will last them for more years to come at AVPS!

Submit your orders for Pizza and Subway Days before October 13!

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Lynne Scholten

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, while supporting fundraising efforts in order to enrich the environment for all students at AVPS!

Subway Fridays

Subway sandwiches will be delivered to the school on Fridays from October 20, 2023 – February 9, 2024 (12 Fridays). The students will receive their sandwiches in their classrooms during the first nutrition break.

Six-inch turkey, ham or veggie sandwiches are prepared on whole-grain bread and can include cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, mustard and/or mayonnaise (or no toppings for the particular palates). Each sandwich is $6.50, and the 12-week session costs $78.  Since sandwiches are customized, they must be ordered during the ordering period, and will not be available to purchase for cash individually.

Contact Ana at avscsubs@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer, or for any questions related to Subway Fridays.

Pizza Mondays

We are currently taking orders for the period from October 23, 2023 – February 12, 2024. Pizza will be delivered every Monday that the school is open during this time (16 Pizza Mondays). Panago Pizza, known for its fresh and delicious ingredients, and will be served on their great multigrain crust, in alignment with the OCDSB Food and Beverage Policy guidelines.

You can choose between plain cheese pizza, pepperoni, veggie (green peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes), or gluten-smart pizza with plant-based cheese, and select 1 or 2 slices per child. Pizza is $2.50 per slice, so when you sign up for the program the total cost of the 16-week session will be $40 per slice. The slices ordered will be delivered to your student’s homeroom class for first lunch, at 11:10am.

If you do not sign up for the pizza program by the deadline, then students in grade 1-8 still have the option to pay $2.50 cash at the school kitchen to buy a slice any Monday. This cash for a slice program is unfortunately not available to Kindergarten students.

Contact Caryn at avscpizza@gmail.com to volunteer on a pizza Monday, or to ask any pizza related questions.

The deadline to order pizza or Subway is Friday, October 13, 2023. Don’t miss it! Place your order through School Cash Online.
