Kidssentials has replaced the Lunch Lady at HVV. Kidssentials is very different from other companies. They serve food fresh onsite and they don’t pre-package anything that will get soggy or mushy. They mix and serve the hot food the same as you would at home. 

• Meals contain only the highest quality ingredients and freshest produce
• 100% Nut Free facilities and products - menus always include allergen-free entrées (gluten, soy, egg, sesame, seafood, and dairy free) 
• Earth friendly - compostable & recyclable packaging and cutlery, and online/paperless ordering  
• 5 entrée options per lunch date, including vegetarian and vegan options
• Healthy snacks and beverages are also available to order

To view the menu and to place your lunch order online, please create an account at www.kidssentials.com/parents. It is important to note that meals are available by pre-order only.

Do you want to make your own great works of art? Join Art in Action for a brand new fall program!  

Art in Action believes that children have a natural artistic expression to be discovered and developed.  

We are focussed on sparking that creativity through inspiring visual art projects. Students will learn about famous artists like Edouard Manet, David Milne, Pablo Picasso, Dr. Seuss and many others.  

They will also learn about important principles of art like positive and negative space, warm and cool colours, silhouettes, proportion and other art techniques. 

They will work with: watercolours, acrylics, collage materials, oil pastels, soft pastels and other supplies.  

Registration begins on September 24th at 7pm, please go to artinactiontoronto.com.  Classes begin Wednesday October 7th and the cost is $135.00 for an 8 week session. 

Classes will be held from 3:30-4:30 at Humber Valley School for grades 1-6.  Students will create their own works of art with a new project each week. Please contact us at artinactiontoronto@gmail.com with any questions.

Family Literacy Day - Jan. 27

Today is Family Literacy Day - a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

For more information, go to: http://abclifeliteracy.ca/fld/family-literacy-day
