Hot lunch is live!
September & October Ordering Now OPEN
Our ordering system is once again GREEN this year! Instead of filling out a paper order form, parents will place their hot lunch orders online.
Securely pay for your orders via Swipe online credit card payments.
NO cash or cheques accepted
Online ordering CLOSES September 18th at 11pm.
**NO LATE ORDERS ACCEPTED
HOW TO REGISTER: Visit our page by clicking the green button in the sidebar or by visiting Munchalunch’s McBride page.
To add a child, go to the “My Family” link in the top menu.
Please note if your child is ill on a lunch date, you are welcome to come and pick up their lunch but we cannot keep the food for them for the next day. Consistent with previous years, there are NO REFUNDS as this is a PAC fundraiser. We appreciate your support for our hot lunch program as the funds go towards the school’s needs and general fundraising within the school.
Our thanks to the McBride parent community for supporting this important fundraiser and to our wonderful volunteers who help make this program a success!
If you can volunteer please let Nia know or email us.

Welcome Back
McBride families – welcome back to school!
We look forward to seeing you at our first PAC meeting on September 12, 2018 at 6 pm in the library. We will be voting for our executive for the 2018/2019 year and also discussing initiatives and events for the year. Childcare is provided in an adjacent room for children attending the school and their siblings.
Families who are new to McBride should contact us at mcbrideelementary@gmail.com to be added to the PAC mailing list, which is separate from the school’s list, to be emailed a copy of the agenda and minutes.

Come join us for the last movie night of the year – we’ll be screening Boss Baby, and we’ll have lots of yummy pizza, drinks and snacks. Entry is $2 and show starts at 6 p.m. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Summer Carnival
Please save the date for our first McBride Summer Carnival being held on Saturday, June 23! We’re hoping to celebrate the end of the school year with a party with lots of games, snacks and fun. The Summer Carnival is a fundraiser for our school, but even more importantly gives us the chance to come together as a community.
A lot of people ask what we are fundraising for, and this past year we have paid for hip-hop, maintaining musical instruments, technology for our classrooms and more. We have lots of great ideas for next year, like beautifying the school with a natural playscape and outdoor learning space, funding field trips, a community art project and much more, and we’re hoping to raise money towards that. We’d also love to hear any ideas you have!
We need your help to make the carnival a success. First and foremost, please come and bring your kids and your neighbours. If you have a business and can make a donation to our silent auction (like a gift certificate, gift basket or tickets) please also contact me at this address! If you can spare an hour or so on the day of the event to volunteer, we would love to have you. If you have skills you can share (like facepainting?) let us know!
