Feeding Futures information

Recently, the provincial government announced a new Feeding Futures School Program Fund, designed to assist schools in the development and enhancement of school meal programs and other nutritional supports for students.

If you would like to request support for your child at school, please reach out to the Diefenbaker principal, Ms. Vosahlo at rvosahlo@sd38.bc.ca. We are gathering information and look to provide ongoing support wherever possible. Implementation plans are underway, and we want to ensure families are aware, and as always, able to reach out if they require support. All requests will be treated with dignity and your privacy will be respected. We want to work with families to ensure that your children have everything they need in order to be successful at school. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can help.

We wish you all a great weekend and lots of rest to our brave Grade 6 campers,

Regina Vosahlo and Kevin Vines
