Our Pizza Lunch Coordinators have gathered information on community breakfast programs and put forth a motion at the October APA for $1000 of the revenues from the 2014/15 Pizza lunch program to be donated to the Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) Student Nutrition Programs.
In response to a suggestion to expand our social equity outreach, the Pizza Lunch team researched different community breakfast programs. They narrowed it down to two programs and shared the information at the October meeting. The group in attendance agreed that if a donation was to be made, the TFSS program was the program of choice.
A good discussion was had at the meeting. Questions were raised about whether this donation should come from the APA budget this year or should we do a separate toonie drive at Pizza lunch? Other comments included the importance of conveying to the Allenby students this initiative. Parents feel educating the children about giving is as important as the financial contribution. Please see the October minutes for further details of the discussion.
A vote will occur at the November 26th APA meeting. If you have questions, please email chairs@allenbyparents.com.
