Huron Happenings – Jan. 8, 2018

OUR ‘MILK AND COOKIE’ FUNDRAISER – REPORT

Thank you so much to our very generous Huron School Community. We are pleased to tell you that just before the holidays we raised $987.50 through our ‘Milk and Cookie’ fundraiser. This money will be given to the Toronto Foundation for Student Success. Thanks again to everyone for your support.

PIZZA LUNCH

A reminder that Wednesday January 17th is our next Pizza Lunch – in two weeks, not next week.

KID’S KITCHEN

Please see the attached flyer from Kid’s Kitchen about their January specials. Remember that Kid’s Kitchen comes to Huron on Tuesdays and the deadline for ordering is always noon on the Monday before. Preview of January Specials:
Turkey or Vegetable chili served with mini whole wheat pitas (Gluten-free option available)
Chicken teriyaki with steamed rice
And back by popular request from customers – we will be adding the Grilled Cheese sandwich to our everyday menu.
