Without parent and community volunteers such as these individuals, the breakfast program would not be possible. All children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 are invited to participate in the program Breakfast Program Volunteers not only help our students learn about the importance of good nutrition and health and how it is linked to school success, but occasionally, they get to “learn” other important information as well. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity of promoting the importance of eating breakfast, helping to ensure that our students are prepared for their educational day. Won’t you consider volunteering a little of your time to St. Edward Catholic School for such an important program? As a volunteer, you’ll have the flexibility to choose the day or days on which you wish to participate, depending on individual circumstances.
