Students are asked to bring lunches that do not require heating at school. We are environmentally conscious and recommend reusable containers for lunches so that there is little to no waste of packaging. We compost scrap food.  We also have recycling containers for refundable beverage bottles and tetra paks. Funds from our recycling program goes towards the Parent Association’s Fueling Learning Program which provides bowls of fresh fruit and vegetables for each classroom on a weekly basis. For questions about noon supervision please contact the school office at 403-777-6240.

Fun Lunches

We are happy to announce that with the support of the Parent Association/School Council we are going to launch Fun Snacks and Fun Lunches for this school year. We will be alternating between fun snacks and fun lunches throughout the year. 

Also, we are continuing the highly successful option in Healthy Hunger for families to donate / buy snacks for friends so that the school can purchase items for those students who are unable to do so themselves. This option is only available for the Kernels Popcorn fun snack. It is wonderful seeing University School community coming together to help each other out. Login/create your Healthy Hunger account at Healthy Hunger. 

If this is all new to you, please see more detailed information below. 

What is Fun Snack / Lunch

This program allows parents to purchase food for their child on specific dates throughout the year. It not only provides fun food for the students, but it also serves as a valuable fundraiser for our school.
