Notes from Pauline Johnson

Dear PJ parents and guardians,

It has become a tradition to show our appreciation to all the teachers and staff with the National Teacher Day Lunch. This year's lunch will be on Thursday May 21, 2026. We want to celebrate with a multicultural theme and would love for you to bring your favourite cultural dish. Homemade food is greatly encouraged!

Please drop off your food/lunch items at the school office or library on May 21 between 10:45 and 11:20. For cold dishes, desserts, drinks, etc. you're welcome to drop off to the table beside the office in the morning after drop-off.

Please LABEL all dishes and containers with a piece of masking tape on the bottom with your name and phone number if you want them returned. Dishes will be available for pick-up after 3:00 PM or the next day at the table outside of the office. Our volunteers will do their best to clean the dishes if there is enough time but we would appreciate your grace if we don't have time to wash all the dishes.

**Items that contain NUTS, please label in RED - "CONTAIN NUTS"

Please also label dishes which are "GLUTEN-FREE", "DAIRY-FREE", "VEGAN".

Thank you in advance for all of your donations!!

If you have any questions, please contact .
