Submit your orders for Pizza and Subway Days before October 11!

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 18, 2024 – February 28, 2025 (14 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 14-week session costs $91.  Since sandwiches are customized, they must be ordered during the ordering period, and will not be available to purchase for cash individually. You can also choose to donate a sub for a student in need.

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 21,2024 – February 24, 2025. 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. You can also choose to donate a slice of pizza for a student in need.

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 11, 2024. Don’t miss it! Place your order through School Cash Online.
