MyFoodDays Reopens for Lunch-In Orders

Posted on

The Lunch-In site, MyFoodDays.com, has been reopened until 10 pm, Tuesday, October 9th. It is important that students and parents are happy with their lunch choices and that food is not thrown away. Please use this opportunity to review current lunch orders and make any changes. If your child has a bigger appetite, please consider ordering additional food. For Meatheads, we just added a double burger option. For any families who missed the previous deadline to participate, you may also order at this time. Oak families new to MyFoodDays.com will need to first register, add your child(ren) to your account, and then order food.

Go to MyFoodDays.com and sign into your account to review/change orders. No changes can be made after October, 9th. MyFoodDays charges a minimal fee for any purchases less than $25. To avoid this fee, you may put $25 in credit toward future purchases. If you cancel any current orders, you will be given credit only.

If you have not updated your child’s homeroom teacher, please do so at this time to avoid confusion during lunch distribution (login and go to settings in the upper right-hand corner to change teacher).

Questions?? Please email Denys Kang (Lunch-In chair) at lunchin@oakpto.org.

WALK TO SCHOOL DAY

Join Oak School, and children and adults from around the world, to celebrate the benefits of walking and bicycling.
Oak School will celebrate Walk to School Day on:

Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at 8:30 am by the flag pole!

Walk to school day is an annual event that promotes walking and bicycling for:
 * Physical activity
 * Teaching safe pedestrian and bicycling skills to children
 * Awareness of our walkable and bikeable community
 * Concern for the environment
 * Reducing traffic congestion, pollution and speed near schools

Oak School will be sending Hootie off to Ireland this year! (Shhhhhh!!! It’s a secret and your kids don’t know yet!)

REMEMBER to walk or bike safely:

• Always look left-right-left before crossing the street
• Always use sidewalks
• Cross where crossing guards are present, when possible

COSTUME DRIVE
Calling all ghouls and goblins from Halloween past!
Thank you to those of you who have donated already – we have a nice collection going so far! If you have not yet had a chance, please take a moment to pull out those gently used Halloween costumes and donate them to the Kids Care Club costume drive. All costumes will be donated to the 75 children in K-8 who receive services through Willowbrook Corner. The collection box is located at the entrance of Oak School through October 11th.

Kids Care Club Members: At our upcoming meeting on Thursday, October 11th at 7:45 am, we will be sorting the costumes and making Halloween treat bags to donate.

WE CAN! RECYCLING DRIVE
Our aluminum beverage can only recycling drive begins this week and runs through November! Kindly ask your children to collect, rinse & bring crushed cans to school, and drop them into our blue recycling container located outside the school’s front doors. Republic Services has generously donated this container, so let’s show our appreciation and fill it! Our goal is to collect 35+ cans per student. We will redeem cans for funds, and then donate to a great cause chosen by our club members!
