HOT LUNCH PIZZA MONDAYS - HOSA FUNDRAISER 

Hello SJF Families! We are a group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are taking HOSA ("Health Occupations Students of America") as an elective this year. Our plan is to travel and compete at two conferences, all while representing our school. We are super excited! 

To help us raise funds for these competitions, we've decided to do a Pizza Monday hot lunch to meet our fundraising goals. Ordering is open now on FACTS so you can order pizza for your student(s) just like you order hot lunch for Tuesday - Friday. The pizza will be from Pizza Hut (just like on Friday) and it will be accompanied by some veggies (but not full salad bar like Tuesday - Friday).

Thank you for your support! - SJF HOSA Students 

 

HEALTH DAY VOLUNTEERS

Health Day is just around the corner and we need some volunteers!  Health Day is Friday, 10/21 and we will start right after morning drop off at 8am.  We hope to be done in about 2 hours with vision screening for the entire school.  Please consider helping this year.  Super easy, no experience needed, and it absolutely counts as family volunteer hours.  If you can help please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080F49ADAA29A7F58-health or email me at [email protected].
