Tasty Tuesday - New Government Guidelines

Last year, the Government of Ontario imposed new Nutritional Guidelines that had to come into effect at the beginning of the 2011 / 2012 school year.  The guidelines related to any food / beverages sold to students within our school.   Among other things, these guidelines mandated that we alter the serving size of the Tasty Tuesday Pizza.  We could no longer sell 1/6th of a large pizza as 1 serving.

While Tasty Tuesday is first and foremost a Fundraiser, the Tasty Tuesday coordinators and volunteers are committed to creating a fun environment that financially benefits the school.  Every week, approximately 40 volunteers cheerfully serve over 800 students.  In order to abide by the new Gov't of Ont guidelines AND maintain the intergrity of the fundraiser, it was decided that we would slice the pizza into 8 and keep the price at an even $2.  Please also know that much time and effort was put into sourcing a variety of drinks and dessert options that also meet the guidelines.  And we're not done yet!!  There are still more yummy treats to come!!

As for the benefits of the Tasty Tuesday Fundraiser, last year we raised approximately $35,000 and ALL of it went back to the school!!!

Lunches on Fridays Just Got Easier!

EFT Council is very pleased to announce that Lunch Lady will be providing a variety of healthy HOT and COLD lunches at affordable prices to our students on Fridays.

Lunch Lady lunches are designed as Boomerang Lunches which is a concept designed to help reduce the garbage and recycling load at schools. In a bag provided with each lunch, students are encouraged to take the recyclable, compostable and garbage from their Lunch Lady lunch home for proper sorting (e.g., foil and plastic containers, compostable, utensils).

Note:  Please make your child aware of the health risks involved when eating leftover foods that have not been kept cold throughout the day. 

Paper orders can be returned to the school or parents can order on-line at www.lunchlady.ca 

Tasty Tuesdays / Miam Mardi starts October 11th!

Every TUESDAY during first nutrition break your child will be able to purchase their lunch at school.   We are pleased to announce that Panago Pizza will be providing pizza for Tasty Tuesdays again this year.  

Tasty Tuesdays is ÉFT's largest fundraiser. Last year, this program alone raised nearly $34,000 and those proceeds went to support wonderful educational activities and resources for our children.
