HEALTHY HUNGER
This year Sir Wilfrid Laurier School will be offering families opportunities to purchase a variety of lunches through Healthy Hunger. Every purchase made helps raise money for our school. To order, you can go to https://healthyhunger.ca/ , and set up a parent account. You will need to select “Sir Wilfrid Laurier School” and then add each of your children and select their homerooms. Lunch options and dates will be available on the Healthy Hunger website. Orders must be placed at least 1 week in advance. Once you have created your account, you will be able to see and order for any of the Healthy Hunger lunches we have booked between now and the end of the school year.

Spectators at Games
We are excited to welcome our students to another exciting Sir Wilfrid Laurier Lightning sports season! It’s going to be a fun and active time for everyone.
We want to share important information about students watching home games:
- Students can stay at school from 4:15 until 5:15 and watch the first home game of the evening without a parent or guardian.
- For all other games that night, students must either leave the school or be with a parent/guardian while watching.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and for supporting our Lightning teams!
