Fun Lunch

Fun Lunch 2023-2024

You deserve a break from packing lunches and your kids deserve a fun and exciting lunch each week. The Willard PTO Fun Lunch program is here to help!

What: The PTO will offer Fun Lunch, a PTO fundraising program that offers a catered lunch to students for a fee! All lunches will be served with carrots and a Rice Krispie Treat.

Who: Lunch is available to students in Kindergarten – Grade 4 and younger students who may attend Willard for a full day.

When: Every week between September 8 – December 22 on the last day of school of the week with a lunch period (typically Friday, but there are a few weeks where Fun Lunch is on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday instead). You can see the list of dates and restaurants on this page!

How: An order is required for all Fun Lunches. The ordering period for fall closed on Thursday, August 31. Please note there will be a separate ordering period in December for the second of the half year (lunches from January 12 – June 6).

Financial scholarships are available; if you would like assistance providing Fun Lunch for your child, please contact our school social worker, Laurie Dalrymple, LSW.

Volunteers

In order to make Fun Lunch possible, we need your help!

We are looking for seven volunteers for each of the 17 Fun Lunch dates from September 1 – December 22, with the time commitment being a little over an hour (11am to shortly after 12pm). Volunteers can sign up for multiple dates but there is a limit of four dates/lunches per volunteer. All slots have been filled, but cancellations do occur, keep an eye on the sign up to volunteer here!

Volunteers will work with that day’s Fun Lunch Coordinator and will be responsible for tasks such as arranging the vendor food and sides prior to lunch starting, taking student orders/collecting order cards and serving food during lunch, and cleaning up and organizing/returning order cards afterwards.

Timing

Fun Lunch is offered by the PTO throughout the school year.

Ordering for Fall 2023 closed on August 31. The next opportunity to place an order will take place in December.
